Xbox 360 Sparks Bomb Scare

Posted by Zonk on Sunday January 1, 2006 @08:31PM from the why-was-that-a-carry-on dept.

CivilianHero writes "The New York Post is reporting that a carry-on case, with an Xbox 360 inside, sparked a terror alert to go off at MacArthur Airport after several x-ray screenings revealed the case to be containing suspicious wires. That section of the airport was cleared and the bomb squad was deployed to investigate. That's one more reason why Xbox 360 is the bomb for Games.net and Joystiq."

Great, now I guess only terrorists will have the 360?

  Why not, its the perfect terrorist weapon. Just turn it on for a few minutes, let it overheat and hey, you've got a fire hazard capable of taking down a commercial airplane.
