    Idk if it was just a rumor so please correct me, but I heard just buying it can put you on a no fly list? Either way I got a copy with my dad’s card, cause he was an alcoholic and I knew he wasn’t gonna fly anytime soon lol

      It’s a 90’s myth used to scare (very anarchist at the time) teenagers lol. Owning a book or even a PDF copy has nothing to do with flying.

      I doubt that’s true, but it’s the type of thing that I wouldn’t test. It could certainly come up in a future case, though.

      I bought mine second-hand with cash, from a classmate. Dunno what ever happened to it. Read that a lot of the info was deliberately more dangerous to cause harm to would-be radicals. That’s probably also bullshit. More likely the author just made mistakes.
