So the "Patriot Act" of October 2001 gives the FBI the power to search library records. Yes, they're looking for terrorists, so I imagine they're mostly interested in guys checking out books with "certain" words in the title, such as
Sad MACs, Bombs and Other Disasters: And What to Do about Them

or
Improved Hitting for Girls Softball: The Physical and Mental Mechanics for a Controlled Explosion.

But what if they start looking at the rest of us? Have you ever thought how you might be profiled based on your reading habits? You're probably subversive and could be a good suspect for workplace sabatoge if you check out too many Dilbert books. Mystery readers could be good murder suspects. Anne Rice fans...hmm...there was that recent theft from the blood bank. But seriously, these incursions on our rights to privacy in the name of "homeland security" have me worried.
