Absolutely ROFLMAO.  I honestly thought this was a joke, a little dig at the "alerts" we are seeing.  Unbelievable.  WARNING: the latest intelligence reports indicate a strong possibility that terrorists are breathing air to stay alive, specifically oxygen.  Recommend burning atmosphere to prevent further terrorist attacks.

Grunherz: yeah, you never know what's important.  So let's outlaw everything.

In other words, you never know what is important or where this info came from and those of you who are ridiculing this should really consider that...

Actually, the FBI is suggesting that police keep an eye out for almanacs when working with suspicious characters... not that the almanac makes them suspicious.

It's kinda funny really... nobody is being arrested for carrying almanacs nor for buying them.  The FBI has made a simple correlation.  I guarantee the koran is on the list of "books to keep an eye out for" too.

Dunno... maybe some of those being so critical could come up with a way to identify people before they commit a crime without infringing on our rights as U.S. citizens with 100% accuracy that should have been demonstrated by preventing 9/11.

Its not a matter of using hindsight OR foresight... its a matter of using both.

I think you can take the point. ;)  So you can be suspected for carrying an almanac.  What's amazing is that people can't see the humor in that.  It's straight out of Dave Barry.

I was recently involved in an incident where a guy ran off with some merchandise and was later arrested...the police report said the "suspect behaved rudely, in almost a terroristic fashion."  LOL.
