In light of recent baggage restriction, JK Rowling was nearly stopped from boarding a flight for refusing to part and check-in her manuscript for the final book in her Harry Potter book series.

Finally, the author was allowed to take the manuscripts onboard after they were bound in elastic bands. The writer claimed that she would have sailed back from New York to the UK if the security officers did not change their mind.

Rowling was returning from a charity book reading festival, also attended by Stephen King and John Irving. The boy wizard's story made Rowling one of the richest and highest earning celebrities, with film adaptations and over 300 million books sold.

Very sharp Customs agents.  They know that a manuscript can be a weapon of mass destruction, even if no one else does.

Hidden spells in manuscript. Should have confiscated the lot and sell on eBay later.
