The comic series follows members of a government think tank that was tasked with coming up with 9/11-type "unthinkable" terrorist scenarios that now are coming true. (See this article for more on the series.) Sable wrote of his experiences: "Flying from Los Angeles to New York for a signing at Jim Hanley's Universe Wednesday (May 13th), I was flagged at the gate for 'extra screening'. I was subjected to not one, but two invasive searches of my person and belongings. TSA agents then 'discovered' the script for Unthinkable #3. They sat and read the script while I stood there, without any personal items, identification or ticket, which had all been confiscated........... | |

Yeah.
Freedom of speech my ass.
Let's google 9/11 and see how many other authors have written comics or books on 9/11. No one stops Keith Ledger from getting on a plane for doing the TV show 24.
they even stopped a senator or congressman (don't know if it was federal or a state one) for having a name that was the same as someone on a terrorist watch list.
YET i read some KNOWN terrorists are allowed to keep their pilots licenses? (i think once the news came out, they WERE in fact yanked)
yeah, right.........
