A government official says a scientist has been detained in Miami after screeners found a metal canister in his luggage that looked like a pipe bomb.

The official says the FBI and Miami Dade police are interviewing the 70-year-old man.

CBS Station WFOR correspondent Sharrie Williams reports the passenger, a U.S. citizen, arrived on an international flight from Brazil.

“He’s being very cooperative,” FBI agent Michael Leverock said at a news conference in Miami. “He’s not under arrest at this time.”
