Google Glass moviegoer detained by US Homeland Security over piracy fears


A man was questioned by police after he was suspected of recording a cinema screening with his Google Glass device.
Writing anonymously on the Gadgeteer, the Glass user said that he had the device turned off during the screening, but still wore them for its prescription lenses.
He was wearing them during a screening of Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit in AMC, and halfway through the movie, he was hauled out by police and officers from homeland security who accused him of recording the movie.
He was then brought to a room where he was interrogated for over an hour. After asking him questions about who he worked for, they then connected the device to their computer and checked all the files on it.
