Title: Umm... Can a comic book script bring a plane down?

Mark Sable detained at airport for 'suspicious' comic book script. (http://sfscope.com/2009/05/comics-artist-mark-sable-detai.html)

Obviously, we'll steer clear of inapproriate commentary here, but I just thought it was bizarre that, in essence, a real comic book artist and writer was detained by clueless TSA drones for have a script for a comic book he's writing whose plot includes someone suspected of terrorism because part of his job is to write about potential terrorist plots. Apparently, TSA training lacks a class on what fiction is...  <_<

Maybe they haven't made it to fiction because they're currently working on irony.  :P

Pfft, at least this was actually fictional terrorism. One dude got arrested or something for writing about zombies taking over the white house or somesuch (this was a few years ago, not sure if I remember where I read the article).

My dad works for the government, and these people... well, let's just say they fail on more then one level.
