GQuon's Journal: Little Red Book Did Not Draw Government Attention

Oh, did you hear about how the DHS came to visit a student who had requested Mao's Little Red Book, as reported on slashdot?

Just one little detail:

Oops ... turns out the story was fake

Personally, I thought it sounded strange. Granted, he called people abroad a lot, which could be grounds for questioning. But Mao's little red book? And the agents supposedly brought the book with them without giving it to the student?
Here's hoping that the student fails, and that his future social engineering jobs are equally stupid.

Five commenters managed to note the lie before the story was archived.

Filed from my university library, where we actually have the damn book available.

Indeed.

Turns out the young Lt. Bush actually earned enough points though, so the story wasn't essentially true either....

Allready caught...

Here's the relevant Slashback [slashdot.org].

Well, I haven't been a regular at slashdot recently.
