Here's some fun. Check out this bit from Ross Mayfield's blog. He was told that the limit on books you could carry on a plane was four now, and would be two later. Now, as mentioned in the comments, there might be some confusion as to how many books of matches you're allowed to bring on a plane. But my initial thought was, of course, 'Ah-HA! They've figured it out! Information is the true weapon that can destroy us all! Books are dangerous! And anybody who reads that much is sure to be suspect! Unleash the hounds!' But then, I came to my senses and realized if somebody these days was carrying books, they would probably be copies of The DaVinci Code. If you think about it, no matter which way this story goes, we're doomed. Filed under: General BS

This is my latest book. Short stories written especially for you, or at least someone who reminded me a lot of you at the time.
I would imagine this to be a misinterpretation. The conversation with the TSA officer began with lighters. When he mentioned a limit on books - I bet he meant "books" of matches.
