"disguised as a"

[Joel S. Berson]

Heard today (twice) on a radio station that takes news snippets from
multiple sources:  An interview with Brian Ross, of ABC News, in
which he said, talking about the alleged recently-thwarted Al Qada
plots to take over airplanes, the terrorists planned to carry on
board "cameras disguised as bombs".

My image--threaten to blow up the plane with what looks like a bomb
unless you are allowed into the cockpit to take pictures.
