A librarian in Washington details her interaction with the FBI thought police:

On June 8, 2004, an FBI agent stopped at the Deming branch of the Whatcom County Library System in northwest Washington and requested a list of the people who had borrowed a biography of Osama bin Laden. We said no.

We told the FBI that it would have to follow legal channels before our board of trustees would address releasing the names of the borrowers.

Undeterred, the FBI served a subpoena on the library a week later demanding a list of everyone who had borrowed the book since November 2001.

So, the FBI is monitoring reading habits. After all, if you (like the FBI) take an interest in America’s number one enemy, obviously you’re suspect in something.

Also, gunner at No Quarters details how his mail is getting inspected.

And AlphaPatriot reports that:

A Minnesota appeals court has ruled that the presence of encryption software on a computer may be viewed as evidence of criminal intent.

Clearly, the encryption that I use on my home WiFi network makes me intentionally criminal.
