Yes, and apparently the lawyer for the Secret Service Agent has statements from the people seated near where the agent had originally sat saying the FA came back and went through his bag left on his seat (Illegal search?, Invasion of Privacy?) and found the book said to be in Arabic (not sure if this is a crime). The lawyer claims the book was in English but on Arabic history.
