UNITED STATES--Terror threats have a major concern on the airways.

The Saudi Arabian man detained on an American Airlines flight was not arrested, but caused quite a scare when authorities say he tried to walk into a cockpit. Another passenger ended up stopping him.

Police say the man seemed confused. We're told he did not appear on any terror-related watch lists.
