Story here. I have to agree with the author that the real insanity here is not that they checked him out for writing the word "bomb" in a sentence on his newspaper in an airplane. The insanity is that after finding out that he was just brainstorming dialogue for his amateur novel, they still put him on the Watch List. That's fucked-up. I mean, I can see being in the same situation from reading (or writing) a book or article with the word "Anarchy" in the title or text, which could happen easily enough.
