I wonder what would have happened if they had caught me with the book I had on my recent MCO trip, Jihad vs McWorld by Benjamin Barber. As it turns out, it ended up in my checked bag both ways, but still, imagine the closed-minded reaction to the word Jihad in the title, nevermind what the book is about. For those who don't know, it's a nonfiction piece attempting to explain some of the differences between western capitalist culture and Islamic culture. Dates to about 5 years ago. I haven't actually had a chance to read it yet. Didn't open it during my trip.
