Florida Professor Arrested for Having a “Suspicious” Bagel on a Plane

A Florida professor was arrested and removed from a plane Monday after his fellow passengers alerted crew members they thought he had a suspicious package in the overhead compartment.
That “suspicious package” turned out to be keys, a bagel with cream cheese and a hat.

Monday’s incident is another example of other passengers essentially becoming the authority on terrorist activity on planes.

Got this from Daring Fireball, not Schneier (I suspect it will be there soon*), and Gruber had a comment:

“Suspicious Bagels” would be a good name for a bagel store.

I think it would be a good name for a band.

* and he will point out that when you have amateurs doing your security, that what you get is amateur security.
