Passenger side seat belt/airbag sensor

Here's one thing I noticed that will probably drive me nuts because I'm always hopping in the car and throwing something on the passenger seat.

The passenger side seat pressure sensor for the seat belt alert/air bag on/off is very sensitive. My camera bag (which I weighed after is less than 3 lbs) set it off. It took me a while to figure out what the heck the "chirping alert" was. It does eventually stop after what seemed like an eternity but was probably 15 to 30 seconds. It was very distracting though since I wasn't expecting it to go off when I threw the bag on the seat.

By the way, taking the bag off the seat didn't seem to make it go away. I'll have to try that again to see if it does.

Much later update: Turns out it wasn't my camera bag, but my phone as others have mentioned, which is why when I moved the bag it didn't stop. Never even occurred to me it could be the phone.
