If You Think You Had a Bad Day...



We've all heard of iPods being personal music companions, sources of pride and murder weapons but now one individual has been detained by Canadian Royal Mounted Police as a potential threat to national security.

A computer game player recounted his harrowing tale when his iPod, which was accidentally dropped into an airplane lavatory, was mistaken as a security threat. Interesting read, especially when security officials play fast and loose with the law. I guess there is no Miranda equivalent in Canada...
