If it were April first, it wouldn't have taken me a millisecond to start
smiling at this but, no, it's for real (or whatever passes for real in TSA land). This from CNN: "The FBI is warning police nationwide to be alert for people carrying almanacs, cautioning that the popular reference books covering everything from abbreviations to weather trends could be used for terrorist planning." This from me: All Americans are advised to wrap their heads in duct tape over a several layers of plastic sheeting in case terrorists jump out from behind lamp posts and hit them over the head with large reference books. Yeah, I know. The FBI is worried about the information in the books. Do you think they ever heard of the Internet? -- Roger Long |

They're not worried about the information in the book. They are just trying
to get rid of Almanac Salesmen. Or else they fit the profile for terrorists. After all, no normal American would ever carry an almanac!

Burning all the books. Isn't that what "Fahrenheit 451" is all about?

They also cautioned against people in possession of maps. So put an
almanac in your flight bag and be a real terrorist. Perhaps most of the administration should take Roger's advice on the plastic and duct tape headwrap. -- Kevin McCue KRYN '47 Luscombe 8E Rans S-17 (for sale) -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

It used to be the Internet that took the heat assigned by people that had never read an encyclopedia. Now, they're back to blaming books.
