Taking over the world ...one papercut at a time

This caught my eye in reading one of the many articles on the latest 'terrorist' threat....

Kingsley Veal, 35, a geologist from England, said his Continental flight from London's Heathrow airport to San Francisco was "long and boring" because, under British flight restrictions, he couldn't bring any books or music on board.

Books? No books? wtf? Were the supposed terrorists planning to rip out pages of books and threaten people with ghastly papercuts? Ooh, and maybe then they were gonna pour alcohol on them, hence the whole no liquids thing. Yes. That must be it. The terrorist master plan...

Threaten painful papercuts with rubbing alcohol poured over them. oooh (insert scary music here)


...or maybe it's just better to keep people from reading because then they won't be informed....now they'll just be scared...all that time sitting on a plane with nothing to do but think how terrible things are thanks to those blasted papercut-threatening terrorists...
