A Jamaican man who was planning to board an Air Jamaica flight at Orlando International Airport on Tuesday was detained and questioned by federal agents, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The man, who has not been identified, was found by security to have with him components for pipe bombs and other explosive materials in his luggage, law enforcement officials told the newspaper.

The suspect was scheduled to fly on Air Jamaica Flight 80 to Montego Bay at 2:55 p.m.

According to a news release on the TSA Web site, at approximately noon, behavior detection officers identified the man, acting suspiciously, entering the A terminal. Suspicious items were identified in his bag and law enforcement was notified.

A 300 foot perimeter was established around the checked bag and parts of A terminal were evacuated. The bomb squad is currently on site.

The newspaper reported that law enforcement officials said among the materials found were unassembled pipes with end caps, metal ball bearings and other potentially explosive materials.

"We're responding as if it's the real deal," FBI spokesman David Couvertier told the Orlando Sentinel. "It's a serious situation until we decide otherwise."

Flight operation and check-in continues, according to the TSA.
