It's not clear how to best distinguish this error from other 403s

See docs at http://developer.linkedin.com/documents/throttle-limits

Note the limits for People Search are...

Up to 100 returns per search, 10 returns per page. Each page is one API call.

Application: 100k Per User: 100 Per Developer: 400

Which means only 100 times per day for a user. Boo.
