Well you can't pass an argument to a filter like that. you'd have to  
fetch the item first (I presume this is all boilerplate stuff so  
you're interested in the one of id params[:id].
Also, returning false from a filter doesn't do anything any more - you  
need to render or redirect to halt the filter chain.
