Clash and Led Zep as terror anthems? 

Harajj Mann - who reports say is a British citizen - was removed from a flight headed to London at Durham Tees Valley Airport. It seems Mann shared his musical tastes with a taxi driver on the way to the airport. His song selection from his mp3 player included Zeppelin's Immigrant Song, which contained the lyrics "The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands" and The Clash's London Calling, which famously says "War is declared, and battle come down."

Apparently the taxi driver thought Mann was a bit too enthusiastic in the way he was singing London Calling and alerted terror authorities. Mann was released after questioning determined he seemed simply to just be a Clash fan and not the next Richard Reid.
