Air travel is a pain for Harry Potter, too
So we've all been whining about not being able to take perfume and contact lens liquid on board our flights. Tsk, tsk. We're so spoiled!
Turns out that J.K. Rowling, the mistress -- or is it goddess? -- of literature and creator of Harry Potter, had to insist that she would not part from her handwritten draft of the seventh installment in the wildly popular series. Who could blame her? I wouldn't part from my only copy of a book. In fact, the very first thing I do when a hurricane heads our way is to save online, and in various other forms, all drafts of my writings.
Rowling's experience, though, makes security look a little silly, doesn't it? We're harrassing the world's most recognizable author but have fumbled our way in the chase of bin Laden.
