OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- An American Airlines pilot was cited for disorderly
conduct Wednesday after allegedly threatening to chop off the head of a
federal security agent.


City prosecutor Marty Conboy said the pilot and agent apparently had an
argument and the pilot referred to an ax on the plane that could be used
to behead the agent. Exactly what happened was still under
investigation.


The pilot was cited and released, police Sgt. Cathy Cook said.


American Airlines would not identify the pilot and spokeswoman Julia
Bishop-Cross said only that the airline was investigating.


The flight to St. Louis left 90 minutes late with another pilot.
