Play an Accordion; Don’t goto Jail

This is a funny (in retrospect) story of what happened to a hapless hacker, who, as he prepared to fly to the US from Canada, ended up “fitting the profile.” Read how after an interrogation and search, the Star-Spangled Banner came to his rescue!

(January 2015 update. I’m cleaning up old entries, and the original link in this article was to a site that no longer exists, http://kode-fu.com/shame/2002_05_12_archive.shtml#76513704. Luckily, I found the article on Joey’s current site, so have updated the entry. I forgot I had been following him this long!)

The featured image (which may only be displayed on the index pages, depending on your settings) was randomly selected. It is an unlikely coincidence if it is related to the post.
