Dean,
Get real. When have you EVER had any reading material inspected by ANY
authority ANYWHERE in the world? OK, so I am not aware of your
particular reading habits and yes, I *can* imagine that *some*
material *might* attract the attention of customs officials in any
given part of the world, but it would have to be pretty extreme and
you would have to literally wave it in front of their faces. WIRED
Magazine does NOT in any way fall into the sort of material I am
imagining, and I think you know that.
We should obviously obey the laws of the country in which we have our
meeting, but dreaming up worst case scenarios isn't helpful. Really.

So, are there likely to be problems with paper copies of the magazine at
customs? Is it available at English-language newsstands?
What other sorts of publications should our attendees leave at home
for fear of violating national standards with which me might not be
familiar? Are thre likelto be be digital media searches of the sort
feared at US and UK customs checkpoints?
I suppose DVDs with copies of "Pure Heart. Clear Mind" episodes
would be right out. We wouldn't want to end up like this guy:

What other land mines are we likely to step on by accident? Who is
going to provide training to the community to keep these sorts of
incidents from happening?
Sorry, I seem to be just chock full of snarky questions today.
