The book, Hayduke Lives!, has a picture of a bomb on the cover.

\”He told me to step aside,\” Godfrey says. \”Then he took my book and asked me why I was reading it.\”
Godfrey scurried back to the airport, leaving the Abbey novel at home. He exchanged it for a seemingly benign novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
When Godfrey arrived at the airport around 1:15 p.m., his luggage was again searched. But as Godfrey passed through the metal detector, a police officer recognized him from the commotion just a few hours earlier. The cop pulled Godfrey aside and made a few phone calls. Ultimately, he declared that everything checked out fine. But a National Guardsman standing nearby vetoed that decision.
\”This time, they took my Harry Potter book and about four people studied it for 20 minutes,\” Godfrey says.
