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.

Yeah, doesn't make sense. Even if it was a bomb, why would they let him hold it? Why would they keep it near all the people? Why didn't they take all the cameras near them if cameras are bombs? Why didn't they subject all the people holding cameras to this search? These questions only makes sense if they thought it was harmless.
and we don't even have the right to face our accusers anymore. I bet that woman had a purely political grievance against that guy. If they just asked the guy, "would this antifa woman do this because you had a maga hat?" Can flip this antifa-maga any way you like.
