[Note from Matthew Gaylor: There have been numerous examples of
individuals being removed from flights based on their choice of
reading material. Now's not a good time to take along the

Novel Security Measures
<p>
A local man was kept off a recent flight because of a book he was
carrying.
<p>
by Gwen Shaffer
<p>
Everyone knows it is a bad idea to try and board a plane carrying a
box cutter, a flight manual written in Arabic, or a sack full of
mysterious white powder. But with ultra-tightened airport security,
a book could also prevent you from boarding that plane.
<p>
No kidding. It happened just last week in Philadelphia.
<p>
Neil Godfrey arrived at Philadelphia International Airport around
9:30 a.m. on Wed., Oct. 10. His brother's girlfriend dropped him off
with plenty of time to spare before his 11:40 a.m. United Airlines
flight. Godfrey was on his way to Phoenix, where his father lives.
From there, the family was planning to head out for a vacation at
Disneyland.
<p>
It is fair to say that Godfrey -- brother of City Paper webmaster
Ryan Godfrey -- doesn't look unusual for a 22-year-old kid living in
Center City.
<p>
His outfit that day was typical: black Dockers, a T-shirt with a logo
for the now-defunct Phoenix Gazette newspaper and New Balance
running shoes. He has a medium build, recently dyed jet-black hair
and a quiet demeanor.
<p>
When Godfrey stepped up to the ticket counter, the United clerk
informed him he had been selected for a random baggage search.
<p>
"No problem," he replied, going through the usual motions of
checking his bag and getting a boarding pass. Now toting nothing
but a novel and the most recent copy of The Nation magazine,
Godfrey hiked through the concourse toward his boarding gate.
<p>
As he passed through the metal detector, an airport security guard
furrowed his brow at Godfrey's reading selections as they
disappeared through the conveyor belt.
<p>
On the cover of the book, Hayduke Lives! by Edward Abbey, is an
illustration of a man's hand holding several sticks of dynamite. The
1991 novel is about a radical environmentalist, George Washington
Hayduke III, who blows up bridges, burns tractors and sabotages
other projects he believes are destroying the beautiful Southwest
landscape.
<p>
"For the first time, it occurred to me the book may be a problem,"
Godfrey recalls.
<p>
He proceeded through the security checkpoint and sat down to
read near his boarding gate. About 10 minutes had passed when a
National Guardsman approached Godfrey.
