We're the Only Ones Tuned Into Your Movements Enough

Next time you're reaching down for that iPod or Zune (or anything else for that matter), take care that you don't alarm the authorities with any suspicious movements -- or you could end up like the UK's Darren Nixon. Apparently, the mild-mannered mechanic was on his way home from work when the Bobbies surrounded him and drew their guns, believing that the MP3 player in his pocket was a firearm.

Maybe it was one of those music hose assault iPods that plays tune after tune with just one push of the button...and couldn't ear buds be considered silencers?

I see the UK "Only Ones" were "not obliged" to apologize properly.

I just wish I had "a better grasp" of British culture and guns...
