One of the news stories I read that just does not add up. FUD. From a news story at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101040705-658292,00.html

FBI and Department of Homeland Security officials say no such devices have actually been discovered, nor is there any current intelligence that terrorists are hatching plots involving floating bombs

My favorite Quotes of the story are "The state laws make it easier to prosecute individuals caught in theaters because the charges focus simply on the operation of a camera" and "Enforcement is always a last resort, but we hope this will be a deterrent,"

What ever hapend to making laws which will be enforced, rather than

Only tech on the office and computers keep flaking out. hmmm......
