"On Tuesday, a 29-year old man was arrested at Frankfurt Airport after authorities noticed that he had microwaved his German identification card" No he wasn't.

"On Tuesday, a 29-year old man was arrested at Frankfurt Airport after authorities noticed that he had microwaved his German identification card" No he wasn't. The source (http://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/mann-erhitzt-personalausweis-in-mikrowelle-13747024.html http://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/mann-erhitzt-personala...) linked to from the article says police confiscated the damaged ID card and gave the man a temporary replacement, and he could continue his travel. Yet another glitch in this rather poor article. (Others have already pointed out other flaws that I won't repeat.)
