Re: [BKARTS] border control cracks down on art

[Beth Lee <callibeth@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a similar story I've enjoyed following: Edith Kollath's books were
confiscated at the Newark airport and kept for 3 months, merely because (one
assumes) they were breathing.

Edith's story about it:

Bre Pettis' video of the books in action:
