iPod prompts bomb scare in airport
Police canine and bomb-disposal units on Tuesday rushed to a Canadian airport to investigate a "suspicious" package found in the bathroom of an aircraft inbound from Chicago. Following the plane's safe landing and isolation from the terminal, passengers were unloaded and questioned by police as experts investigated the suspicious "package," according to the Ottawa Citizen. Authorities discovered that the package -- which was discovered by an aircraft crew member at roughly 4:00 p.m. -- was in fact an Apple iPod. The airport was not closed during the three-hour incident, according to the report.

Also, it was not a 'package'. It was an iPod in a typical leather case.
This happened soon after the UK bomb plot arrests. So...some dude goes to the can in the plane, drops trou, which prompts his ipod to unclip from his belt. Silly flight crew sees it on the floor and promptly over reacts.
Welcome to the society of fear!
I feel sorry for whoever left it behind.
Look at it this way. At least this time it wasn't a certain vibrating device.
