Book Club buys fire insurance for members

And from Huffington Post
US rocker and writer Henry Rollins was reported to the National Security hotline during his recent Australian tour because of a book he was reading on flight to Brisbane.

A furious Rollins was informed he was "nominated as a possible threat" for reading Jihad: The Rise Of Militant Islam In Central Asia.

"National Security hotline" ... hmmm, there is something scary about that, too. It's tough to balance the line between liberty and subjugation. How do we stop crime without ending up having a Stasi-like archive? Well, one way would be to make sure people don't have any reasons to commit crime!!
