The FAA and Delta Airlines are still determining what should happen to the pilots who overshot the Minneapolis and St. Paul International airport by 150 miles last week.

The pilots told investigators yesterday that they were looking at their personal laptops in the cockpit. At some point, the military was alerted that the situation was a potential hijacking, but fighter pilots never left the ground.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security, about the wayward pilots and other topics.
