Bill:

You're right. My comment was perhaps overmuch. Sorry.

The truth is, the case is not that fiction is illegal, but that the people involved failed to recognize fiction because their buttons got pushed. Effectively, pushing buttons is illegal. This is like the sol called security forces who warn you that you must not make jokes about bombs -- they WILL be taken seriously. They'd rather be dull, unimaginative, non-discriminating and literal-minded just to be sure they don't miss anything. What they fail to notice is that embracing those attitudes forces them to stop seeing what is going on around them and makes them much more likely to miss things!
