By all means, let's fear everything.  And let's overreact.  Apparently nobody along the line had any common sense.   So people think cameras have always been shaped like smart phones?

QuoteThe 'security incident' began after a mother, who was traveling with her husband and children, noticed another passenger who was watching videos and viewing pictures of vintage cameras, sources told New York Daily News.

She began to fear the man was searching for bomb-making instructions.

When he pulled out a vintage camera of his own, she was convinced the item was a bomb and alerted airline staff.

Wonder what would happen it you pulled a clean SU carb out of your carryon mid flight and started adjusting the the float?
