Patriot Act causes library records to be destroyed

Despite a threat of a presidential veto, the House voted 238-187 to slim down some of the provisions in the Patriot Act. One of these is the one that allows the FBI to riffle through your library record and see what books your purchasing.

Now, as we all know, if, for an investigation, they want to look at someone's library record, they can go to a court and get a search warrant. This has always been an available option.

Well, it was until recently.

In the meantime, a number of libraries have begun disposing of patrons'
records quickly so they won't be available if sought under the law.

And they won't be available if sought under a search warrent either, if the libraries are disposing of records quickly, now will they?

So, there ya go. Another shining example of Bush and his cronies are trying to make our country less safe with their policies.
