Hand it in to some kind of lost & found system? Maybe keep it and say "aw sweet free camera!" ?

Or would you consider it to be a doomsday device, turn the plane around and get a fighter escort?

I would say that was an over abundance of caution.

See if there are any naked honeymoon photos of the wife on it?

Probably a bad idea. You don't know what the wife looks like, and some things you can't unsee.

A camera is a pretty good thing to disguise a bomb as, though. There isn't much difference between a flash circuit and an explosive trigger.

Having left things behind, I would hope someone would see my contact information on the camera and get it back to me.

Two F-15 fighters scrambled for a mysterious item in an airsickness bag? Is the Air Force that bored? I can give them some things to bomb if they are looking for work...

Take a picture of your junk and put it back where you found it.

My wife finds leftover crap on planes all the time. Mostly books though.

When you beat a message into people's heads eventually it will stick there. We have posters everywhere and play an announcement every 20-30 minutes. While I am surprised at the items people leave behind on a bus (How can you not noice you've forgotten a fake limb) I am tired of having to check every suspicious pizza crust and Steel Reserve can that someone finds.

Snakes on a plane is better than cameras on a plane.

Lol, yep, snakes are much better than cameras, you wont hear Samuel L Jackson yelling obscenities about cameras.

He probably saves that for when he gets home after a hard day avoiding paparazzi.

And if the camera was a bomb, what exactly would a couple of F-15s be able to do about it?

This was close to the plot of one of the episodes of the (discontinued?) tv show that appeared on FOX a few months ago...starred Keifer Southerland, I forget the shows title. In that episode, it was actually a cellphone and it went around the world with some folks adding pix.

Air National Guard, and one of the F15s lost it's avionics and had to land early.... I'm sooooooo glad they were well maintained in case there was an emergency.
