-Caveat Lector- Libraries May Be Required to Spy on Your Net Use http://www.netsurf.com/nsd/nsd.07.39.html#BS12
As a consequence of the recent US anti-terrorism act, federal agents with warrants can force libraries to turn over records of visitors' Internet use and, presumably, lists of the books they have borrowed. Furthermore, libraries served with such warrants are prevented from disclosing this fact to their users. The American Library Association (ALA) has a brief guideline that explains how libraries should behave when served with such a warrant. The ALA page also links to a Department of Justice document that details the differences between the old laws and the new USA PATRIOT anti-terrorism legislation. The document, "Field Guide on New Authorities (Redacted) Enacted in the 2001 Anti-Terrorism Legislation" is more readable than the law itself.

Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis- directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
