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

Mark Sable detained at airport for 'suspicious' comic book script.

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.

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.
