"...A former federal worker went berserk on a Hong Kong-to-Newark flight today, claiming to be a CIA agent poisoned by the spy agency before passengers wrestled him to the cabin floor, sources said.
Port Authority cops and the FBI took the deranged passenger into custody at Newark Liberty International Airport around 2 p.m., roughly 15 minutes after the plane landed, and said they found no evidence of toxins on board.
The suspect identified himself to passengers as Daniel M. Perry, who sources confirmed was a former federal employee, though they did not say where he had worked..."
"...One passenger said Perry made reference to National Security Administration leaker Edward Snowden, who is staying in Hong Kong.
He said he had information related to Snowden and the information that he released and that was why he was in danger, said Peter Jones.
Roizen described a frightening scene as Perry flipped out.
He said he was poisoned and that he was going to die. He was in the aisle when this all went down. It was really sudden. We ended up on the floor, Roizen said..."
