I feel sorry for the accused.
The “security incident” that forced a New-York bound flight to make an emergency landing at LaGuardia Airport on Saturday turned out to be a misunderstanding — after an airline passenger mistook another traveler’s camera for a bomb, sources said Sunday.
American Airlines Flight 4817 from Indianapolis — operated by Republic Airways — made an emergency landing at LaGuardia just after 3 p.m., and authorities took a suspicious passenger into custody for several hours.
It turns out the would-be “bomber” was just a vintage camera aficionado and the woman who reported him made a mistake, sources said.
Why in the world was the passenger in custody for “several hours”? They didn’t do anything wrong.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, telephones were connected to a wire coming out of the wall. You could only move the phone as far as the length of the wire.
The only way to put your phone on silent was if the cord was long enough to put the phone into the refrigerator.
Only fairly well off people could afford to make their YouTube videos which required an 8mm camera, and you could only show them to your immediate circle of friends that lived close enough to come over and view your videos.
There was no "reality TV". You could only watch a program at the specific time decided by network executive programming
dictatorsdirectors. TVs were a large box in your living room that you could not carry in your pocket.People had to carefully consider whether they could afford to buy a RAM upgrade.
People used a stick to point at information on a wall chart.

My phone sits on the refrigerator, you insensitive clod. Now, shut up or I close the refrigerator's door.
