In the UK, Possession of the Anarchist's Cookbook Is Terrorism


Back in the midsts of time, when I was a lad and gopher was the height of information retrieval I read The Anarchist's Cookbook in one huge text file. Now it appears the UK government considers possession of the book an offense under the Terrorism Act 2000 and is prosecuting a 17 year old boy, in part, for having a copy of the book.

Strange that a book freely available on amazon.co.uk can get you arrested.
