My sister-in-law works with a large public library near Ann Arbor, and each month, she is required by the Patriot Act to submit a list of names who have checked out certain books, when, and give their numbers to a service. Not only does it take up enormous amounts of unpaid time from her schedule, but in addition to certain engineering books, a few religious ones, and history books, members often check out herbology books dealing with cannabis horticulture.
Like I stated in the previous post......some of this does leave a bad taste but the overall safety comes first in my eyes. If they want to review my books.....have at it! I really think more detail is spent on such items as bomb making, etc..........

Have a good one!:s4:
Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . US terror law 'unconstitutional' BBC NEWS | Americas | US terror law 'unconstitutional' I thought this was pretty interesting. The patriot act isn't understood that well, i tried reading it for a bit but its full of paragraphs that just reference other sources. Its scarey though a lot of the freedoms american's thought it was protecting from the middle east have just been lost because of the act itself. I guess just because a Judge said it was unconstitutional will mean it will get held up in courts for years but its Rating: 5
