    It’s kinda bothering me that I can think of better ways to dodge airport security than that first one. Like, don’t act defiant. Act clueless instead.
    Mask its presence by carrying other materials in that language. You ARE trying to learn the language of the place you’re missionary-ing to, right? A bilingual dictionary, kids’ books, a Koran, the poetry of Bai Juyi, magazines, whatever. Chances are better that they do not give a crap about the personal books of a foreigner.
    If it keeps you out of prison, let them chuck it in the trash. The great thing about printing presses is that you can make more books.

    But really, there are cheaper ways to get that kind of thrill. Like carrying a regular sized shampoo in your bag in an American airport.
