Samsung Galaxy S III Touch Phones for Video Ad

Yes, this is the one where some guy is getting into a cab to go to the airport, and his little kids made him a video, and so did his wife. So this ad shows that all you have to do is touch phones to transfer video files, but while his kids want him to watch their video on the plane, his wife says he probably shouldn't watch hers on the plane. Now, I know this is intended to infer that she made some sexy video for him (doesn't the fact that it transfers from phone to phone so easily make this a bad idea, on top of the, you know, fact that making sexting videos is stupid to begin with, because they always seem to find their way onto the Internet?), but the first thing it made me think of was something else. Yes, I'm afraid my warped mind thought she might be mad at him, and so she made some incriminating video to get him in trouble, knowing he'll watch it on the plane anyway. So naturally I thought it might be a bomb threat, or personalized instructions from Ayman al Zawahiri, and once he played it on the plane, everybody would tackle him, and he'd find himself in Gitmo. (A reminder to not make your wife mad.)

Here's the touchy spot:
