I recall getting my bag mysteriously searched at every checkpoint on one trip I had to the USA - it eventually transpired that I had a large bronze medal in one of the side pockets that looked exactly like a grenade in cross-section. Fortunately for my bodily cavities (a) I was 14 at the time and (b) this was pre-2001.
This experiment has been done before in some form, but it generally gives an option of paying nothing, and that's invariably the most popular option. I suspect this may give more interesting results - the main reason I'd often choose to pay nothing when given the option is because I can't be bothered to find my credit card for a tiny purchase. In this particular situation, users are forced to actually figure out a payment method, then make an objective decision about how much to pay. For a small indie developer with a loyal fanbase, I can see a fair proportion choosing the higher figure.

Yeah, I was worried that the Babylonian Talmud was conspiring against net neutrality again.
