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.

Runaway is an idiot. 35mm? Could have been more likely a 5x4, or an 8x10, the really good old cameras with the accordion thing out the front, and a cape, or a hood! But all those are prior to Runaway's experience, and he knows nothing he has not experienced, so he is just the kind of person to report an antique camera as a bomb. Ignorant moron.
