Story is hard to believe. 6-10 “federal agents” and cops raid a theater in Columbus Ohio because one guy is seen with Google glasses?

I find the story almost impossible to believe.

About an hour into the movie, he says some federal agents yanked the Glass off the man’s face, pulled the pair out of the theater and took them to separate interrogation rooms.

First of all -- what theater do you know of that has not one, but two "interrogation rooms"? It is a movie theater.

Second of all -- why would the FBI be involved, at least at the start? If the theater thought someone was going to record the movie, they would likely have asked when they first saw the guy with the glasses. If they didn't, they would have called local police.

I mean, what local theater manager would even know how to contact the FBI?

Once the police investigated, I still think it would be odd that the FBI would be involved, but if they were, I would presume it would start with an arrest by the local police, and the FBI would wander in later. Even the fake CSI agents on TV can't get somewhere in an hour.

Lastly, it cannot be illegal to be married to a guy taping a movie. So why would they talk to the wife? What would the point be?

And more lastly -- if they did not understand "google glass", then why would they have thought he was taping the movie? I mean, you'd have to recognize the glasses as google glass to know they had the capability to record the movie. And if you knew that, you wouldn't have to ask what the glasses were or how you could get them.

No, the entire story sounds highly implausible, more like someone trying to run a viral marketing campaign for google glass.
