NYC Ferry guard tries to confiscate role-playing book as "inappropriate".

I'm not even going to be sarcastic about this. This just makes me angry, and sad. Are we really going to have to give up all our freedoms one at a time in the interest of "public safety"?

Edit: According to Greg Costikyan's weblog, the New York Waterway folks are very red-faced about this and are attempting to get more details in order to take corrective action. Urge to kill falling... falling...
