I hope no one is looking in my notebooks....

This is sort of a writer beware. It's just not about agents.

And our chemical plants and ports have no guards at all...

Apparently, this isn't exactly the entire story.

Here are a few links another friend of mine dug up. Sorry I don't have time for more. It seems that the police may have overracted somewhat (my friend's memory was a little foggy about some of the details), but it also wasn't as innocuous as the kid tried to make it out to be. His grandmother turned him in and said he needs psychiatric help (but don't tell Tom Cruise!--my friends comment, not mine). The troubling aspect is that this involved actual attempts at recruiting other students for his "soldier" group, not just writing bad zombie fiction (which did not actually contain any zombies).

All this started back in February, by the way....

My goodness. I'd agree that if he was recruiting people, then the cops were right to question him.

That's the problem with the Internet--things hang around forever. The date on the article was recent, so I thought it was new.

If we have to Snopes the news, then we have a problem.
