Dean, Get real. When have you EVER had any reading material inspected by ANY authority ANYWHERE in the world? OK, so I am not aware of your particular reading habits and yes, I *can* imagine that *some* material *might* attract the attention of customs officials in any given part of the world, but it would have to be pretty extreme and you would have to literally wave it in front of their faces. WIRED Magazine does NOT in any way fall into the sort of material I am imagining, and I think you know that. We should obviously obey the laws of the country in which we have our meeting, but dreaming up worst case scenarios isn't helpful. Really. Ole Ole J.
