Craig emailed about this earlier, today, I just got around to following the link chain. Murder in Samarkand… Confiscated

Don’t bother picking up a poiltical book if you’re going flying now, they’ll confiscate it. Can we hear it for exceeding authority? I think we can. I suspect the days when I could read Michael Moore on a transatlantic flight are gone (as are the days I could afford a translatlantic flight but that’s another issue), we’re only allowed populist pulp on board to read now, anything else makes us a security risk?

Or is this a case of idiotic airport staff in need of a good kicking disciplinary hearing?
