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.

How many people know what a film camera is?
More than you think. Camera film was as nonexistent as vinyl records for a time, but I recently bought three rolls of 35mm film at Walgreen's for my 53 year old SLR. They can have it developed, too, but if you want the negatives back you need to take the exposed film to a photo shop like Creve Coure Camera.
And digital cameras are really a product of this century. Anybody over 30 remembers film cameras, even if it was in their childhood.
