Comic Writer Detained By TSA

Mark Sable was held at LAX and received two invasive searches back in May. During one of which, authorities came upon a script for the next issue of the Unthinkable title, which follows members of a government think tank whose purpose is to portend terrorist acts amidst an incursive police state.

“The minute I saw the faces of the agents, I knew I was in trouble. The first page of the Unthinkable script mentioned 9/11, terror plots, and the fact that the (fictional) world had become a police state. The TSA agents then proceeded to interrogate me, having a hard time understanding that a comic book could be about anything other than superheroes, let alone that anyone actually wrote scripts for comics.”

“In the end, I feel my privacy is a small price to pay for educating the government about the medium.”
