In other breaking news, the FBI has sent notice to LEO departments across the nation that anyone posessing an almanac should be considered a possible terrorist.

I thought that was at the duct tape and plastic "protection" suggested by HS level except I recall how coded messages are easily constructed by people with the same book by referring to specified pages, paragraphs, lines etc. indicating the word to be added to the message. Perhaps we have found suspicious types with almanacs?

A dump truck full of almanacs would set us at Elmo alert or higher

An earlier comment about the Almanac warning suggested that this warning was meant to be passed on only to airport security but that the news media got hold of it and publicized it. Now obviously they will probably hide or discard the almanacs.

Yes, it's possible that they were using if for code. Or it's possible that they are information freaks (as suggested when their computers were captured in Afghanistan), and that the warning went out because several suspicious characters happened to be arrested carrying almanacs for whatever reason.
