Proof the World is Round: TSA Finds Scary Comic

Directly after 9/11, there were talks about the government hiring creative people, including comic book writers, to come up with possible terrorist attack ideas. The thinking seemed to be that the planes being hijacked was such left-field thinking, that to thwart future attacks, left-field brains needed to be deployed; the events were so out of a comic book, comic book writers needed to be employed.

Now, in a bit of round robin, the TSA has found a script of the comic Unthinkable to be a scary item. TSA detained writer Mark Sable when they found the script in his bag. What is Unthinkable about? The Beat's Heidi McDonald describes its premise as such: " a government think tank spends its time thinking up possible terrorist scenarios."
