We’d swear this had to be some sort of spoof on the impeccable James Bond, but sadly enough, the whole thing is true. A secondhand Nikon Coolpix camera which sold on eBay for a mere £17 ($30) turned out to be a real bargain once its new 28-year old owner completed his first image dump. Along with decidedly decent snaps from his US vacation, he also found a number of “top secret” images, diagrams and sketches that have since been confirmed as MI6 material. We’re talking photos of rocket launchers, hand-drawn graphics of terrorist links and all sorts of other information not at all intended for civilian eyes. ‘Course, the whole thing could just be the act of one talented Photoshopper, but we highly doubt the agency would be so fortunate.

Just in case last month’s airport scare wasn’t enough, today we’re finding that an Alaska Airlines flight from San Jose was evacuated upon landing “after a passenger found an unclaimed cell phone tucked in his seat.” Both the FBI and Port of Seattle police eventually concluded that the mobile “posed no safety threat,” but apparently, it was worth looking into. When found, the handset “appeared to have been taken apart, put back together and shoved into the seat,” but after all was said and done, no humans were injured, other flights at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport were only delayed for about ten minutes and some poor soul is wishing he / she had opted for that cellphone insurance back in the day.
