...committing civil disobedience to expose flaws in the nation's aviation-security system, Heatwole breached security six times over an eight-month period at Raleigh-Durham International and Baltimore/Washington International airports. He carried aboard contraband such as box cutters and a knife, along with bleach, reddish molding clay (which he hoped would be identified as a plastic explosive) and matches.

But now collectors were willing to pay for artifacts the farmers hadn't imagined anyone would want: clay pots grimy with antiquity, chipped ceramic statuettes and other detritus of burial rites. A local antiques dealer offered prospective tomb raiders $60 for a night's work--about the same amount the average local earns after taxes in a year...
