Well, for starters, we could read the article and the various updates to it, such as update number 4, noting not only the email, but the mention of the
Columbus Dispatch.
Then we can pretend to have a brain and use Google and find the following link:
http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories ... eater.htmlFurther we could read that article:
In retrospect, he said in an interview with The Dispatch yesterday, "I realize it's stupid to have a device with a camera pointed at the screen. But I didn't even think of it, because I don't use Google Glass to record other people."
Khaalid Walls, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, confirmed in an email yesterday that special agents with the agency's Homeland Security Investigations "briefly interviewed a man suspected of using an electronic recording device to record a film."
So an actual interview was had not only with the movie patron, but also a government agent confirming part of the story. I suppose if we want further verification we could contact the dispatch or dig up the reporters home address and have a visit. But alas, that would only verify part of the story. So to vet the story completely we'd need an invisibility cloak and a time machine so that we could travel to the theater at the point in time and observe the events without interfering. If you do figure out how to assemble those two device, by all means, post schematics, diagrams and instructions in the Hardware forum.
