[ via Lynne Ann Morse ] Germany decides to kick it old school (that should be in a gothic font). Airport security arrests a visiting writer at the Munich airport because of his surname, and the book he was reading.
On the way [ to police HQ ] the arresting officer gave me a triumphant smile. “After 11 September, you can’t travel with books like this,” he said. “In that case,” I replied, “perhaps you should stop publishing them in Germany, or, better still, burn them in public view.”
Brad Templeton has suggested starting an index of books you can be arrested for reading at the airport. We now know of two titles for that list.
