The FBI is interviewing an Alaska Airlines passenger after he said he was a hijacker.
A pair of military jets escorted the flight into Seattle last night and authorities took the man off the plane.

Agents say the man was cooperative and was being interviewed.
She said there doesn't appear to be any imminent public safety threat.
