D.C. Fox affiliate WTTG-5 reported a few minutes ago that British Airways flight 223 has been detained on the tarmac at Dulles Airport, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C.
The flight landed at 7:06 p.m. Passengers have not been allowed to deplane. Some family members waiting at the terminal were able to speak with some of the passengers via cellphone. They were told TSA and other security personnell are interviewing passengers and inspecting luggage.
Over two hundred passengers and crew are on the plane.
More to follow as reported. Please forgive any errors as this just caught my ear.

from Fox 5 in DC
All 237 passengers are at the terminal, the TSA and FBI wanted to question a number of people onboard. The plane was kept circling until the FBI arrived. They took the threat so series, they called in 50% of the DC field office people.

Passengers reported to now being transferred to shuttle buses.
Plane was ordered to circle airport. Landing was delayed until FBI could get agents there. Law enforcement source tells Fox-5 that they took this info so seriously they called out all available agents.

I doubt they would check a nuke as luggage.
my guess: anthrax, they are looking for anthrax in the luggage, it could be contained in any type of jar, can, sealed container.
