Harry Potter is a security threat

Friday, September 15 2006

Author J.K. Rowling, worldwide famous for the Harry Potter saga, tells us what could be another fantasy story: flying back from USA in August she had an hard time convincinng american airport security officials to board with her the manuscript of Harry Potter seventh episode.

Frankly it looks quite difficult to imagine how a paper, mainly handwritten if this can make a difference, could have posed a security threat on board. What if instead of the Harry Potter author the same thing would have happened to a Arab business manager carrying as much as important printed spreadsheets?
