AI researcher François Fleuret shared a lighthearted anecdote: at Zurich airport, a security agent pulled his ever-present copy of The Little Book of Deep Learning from his backpack, flipped through it quickly, put it back, and said "that's okay, you can go"—as if the book itself were a boarding pass. A fun glimpse of the book's fame in the field.
