Noted civil libertarian and cyber-raconteur John Perry Barlow was arrested in September 2003 at the airport in San Francisco after a federal employee found quantities of drugs in his checked baggage (he was returning from Burning Man).

His story is fascinating.

Barlow called his buds at the Electronic Frontier Foundation and decided to fight the charges. In the process he's attempting to bring to light some of the practices of the federal Transportation Security Administration. If you're demented enough to be interested in reading a bunch of legal briefs, they're even more interesting.
