War on World of Warcraft? Toilet-plunked iPod leads to security freakout.


A World of Warcraft forum member posts this bizarre story: a guy accidentally drops his iPod into an airplane toilet, and a terror alert freakout follows: Link. It's a very wordy tale, and I don't quite grok all the details or have resources to factcheck right now -- but if it's all true, it really is "overreaction at its worst," as Bruce Schneier said. (Thanks to Sean Bonner and everyone else who suggested)
