Truth to Power

Police on my back

Under the shield and stars of the FBI crest, the letter directed Christian to surrender “all subscriber information, billing information and access logs of any person” who used a specific computer at a library branch some distance away. Christian, who manages digital records for three dozen Connecticut libraries, said in an affidavit that he configures his system for privacy. But the vendors of the software he operates said their databases can reveal the Web sites that visitors browse, the e-mail accounts they open and the books they borrow.

So in the last year, the FBI has conducted surveillance on over 30 thousand Americans- without informing anyone. Getting more like Russia everyday. Thanks guys.
