Someone got banned from an airline (USAirways?) for reading an improper book.
It was the brother of one of those small anti globalization type groups, if I
recall correctly.  Having trouble finding the link though.


Ah.  Found the link now.  It was United, and he was reading "Hayduke Lives!", 
which apparently has a picture of a man holding dynamite on the cover.  
Apparently we aren't allow to read books that have pictures of explosives.  

Wait a minute.  Didn't the old Appledumpling gang movies (old films from 
Disney) have a cover featuring that guy from the Andy Griffith show (the
deputy) holding dynamite?  If I fly anytime soon, I'm going to have to find
a copy of that video.  Then, if they ban me, I can say I was banned for an
improper Disney video. 

Sigh.  What a depressing world sometimes.

Now, to soon order a copy of evil genius for dummies (a real o'reily book, for
those who didn't know).
