Man Hold Up!  An Alaska Airlines ramp agent says he fell asleep in the cargo hold of a passenger jet Monday.  The airliner was forced to return to Seattle and make a priority landing after people on board heard banging coming from the hold.  The flight was airborne about 14 minutes before landing.  The ramp agent was taken to the hospital as a precaution, though the cargo hold was pressurized and temperature controlled.  Alaska Airlines is investigating exactly why the ramp agent was sleeping inside the hold.
