Feds yank moviegoer out of theater for wearing Google Glasses

A Hilliard man’s trip to the movies on Saturday night was cut short because of his eyewear: Google Glass.



The 35-year-old Glass wearer said he was yanked out of a showing of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit at the AMC Theater at Easton Town Center by two Homeland Security agents who thought he might be making a bootleg copy.



He said he was questioned for two hours on the suspicion that he was recording the movie on Google Glass, a wearable, voice-activated computer that features a thumbnail-size transparent display above the right eye.



He was wearing the device because it was also prescription eyewear. Naturally he wasn't doing anything wrong, which was eventually proven quite easily.



Seems to me that instead of resorting to Stasi tactics to protect its business model, Hollywood ought to work on making movies that are worth the $12 admission price.
