iPod Charger Mistaken for Bomb..

I 100% agree with the last three posts

i wouldn't blame security for taking the charger and looking at it. if it looks funny, by all means. but i suppose they should have realized it wasnt a bomb once looking at it.

People say it's ridiculous now but if it had been a bomb and gone off people would be criticising the security. Plus, simple bombs are generally made out of plastic and batteries. Cliche Habbo term: better safe than sorry.

Maybe so but they need some sort of explosive or flammable material and there clearly isn't one there.

I'd rather lose my crappy home made ipod charger because I was too cheap and stingy to buy one in the first place, and put other peoples minds at ease and help upkeep the security of the airport and other passengers.

:S it's not crappy, from what i interpreted it seemed like it was better than a normal one.

& yeah i think it's fair enough they looked at it because it looked a bit dodgy but they did go a little OTT.

i think its good that airlines are taking extra precautions.

Rofl, it looks harmless. Its just a piece of plastic and few pieces of metal. Ahh well, better safe than sorry.
