Do Not Flush Your iPod

realjordanna writes "Clearly the bar for what is deemed as a security threat has had to be lowered — but should it be this low? When a rather embarrassed passenger loses his iPod in the lavatory — even admits to the crew his mistake, the plane is diverted to Ottawa and a bomb squad is brought in to investigate. Read the iPod owner's story and take one lesson from this kid's plight — clearly the iPod is not flushable."

Getting more off topic, but iPods can actually boot after absorbing a large amount of water. I accidentally left mine in the washer once, and the thing actually booted, kinda sorta. The Apple came up but then I saw the sad iPod icon. In the end, I think the spinning knocked parts loose in the hd.

I've always wondered this, and now is as good a time as any to ask. (please pardon the off-topic)

When & where was the that first history-making occasion when feces was introduced to moving fan blades, and what were the circumstances surrounding it?

I've tried to research this, but all I get are articles on world politics, but I did uncover this.
