Comment Mann's a performance artist (Score 1) 748
do you think we could ratchet down the rapid technophile rights rhetoric a bit?
Mann's got more than a bit of the performance artist and cyborg evangelist in him. This type of situation is pure gold to him, and the more he can play it up, the better the publicity.
If anyone's seen the documentary about him, he's got a serious hard-on about getting in the faces of authority figures and confronting them with his gear. I wouldn't be surprised if he was more than a little obnoxious with the airport security staff. Which isn't to say that they were right, but it's usually not a smart idea to blatantly piss off the people with the guns.
