And making any judgement regarding the content is indefensible. What next - certain books or papers are to be banned from airports ? Debt of Honor (Clancy) and Storming Heaven (Brown) probably at the top the list. The Koran is OK though, mustn't offend anyone.

If the screeners keep up these egregious abuses the courts might (finally!) be forced to smack them down. Not before time.
