TSA Watching what you read, database

According to a Wired Article, they have uncovered that the TSA and the airports are recording information about what you are reading in a database.

Why in the world would government be interested in what you’re reading. Keep in mind that provisions in the Patriot Act allowed for federal agents forcing libraries to turn over large amount of book borrowing information.

Are we one step away from thoughtcrime being a chargeable offense?

Also of note, they are recording the race of people flying. Why they need that information is totally unknown. Is recording their religion next?
