Argentina is banning book imports. Well, they deny they are banning books, but...
"The government claims that this is not a ban. However, since each
buyer has to demonstrate at the airport’s customs office that the ink in
the purchased book has lead quantities no higher than 0.006% in its
chemical composition, the result is that all book imports into the
country are stalled."
But it is not just books they are after: Sniffing dogs are being deployed at airports and border check points
to detect the ink used to print U.S. bills, so Argentines cannot take
out of the country more than $10,000 without declaring it to the
government.
