Reading and Flying

Thursday, Jan 07, 2010 at 2:15pm

What? I cannot take my book to the airport. Until now, I have been smug about flying, smiling while others complained about delayed flights and increased pre-boarding times. This was my opportunity to read without interruption or guilt. No more. Books are not allowed through airport security. Why? They slow down the security process. What is a reader to do? What is a bookseller to do? Set up book kiosks post security where the percentage rent is astronomical and the atmosphere is hard and bright? The right to read on a plane has been dashed in the name of national security. Oh my. Literate society has been grounded.
