Looks like a Shaniqua pax dropped a bomb.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Bomb-sniffing dogs swept a Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta upon landing Saturday after authorities said a passenger tampered with a smoke detector and moved ceiling panels in a lavatory.
F-B-I spokesman Erik Vasys says the passenger, a San Antonio man who was not identified, was being questioned by federal authorities at San Antonio International Airport.
Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Jennifer Peppin says the passenger on Delta Flight 6492 was overheard being “disruptive” in the lavatory by flight attendants and had spent an extended amount of time there.
Vasys says the man had apparently tampered with the smoke detector. Authorities say ceiling tiles had also been moved.
Airport spokesman David Herbert says a bomb-sniffing dog that inspected the lavatory upon landing “showed some interest.”
Hebert says a bomb squad then swept the plane but found no suspicious materials.
Herbert says 36 passengers were on board and flight attendants didn’t grow suspicious of the passenger until late into the flight.
Delta Airlines did not immediately return calls.
