Libraries wait for warrants

This One from WI says A survey of 1,020 libraries by the University of Illinois in
January and February showed 85 libraries nationwide had been
visited by federal agents seeking information on patrons related to
terrorism. Specific information on which libraries were contacted was
unavailable because of gag provisions in the federal law that
broadened the federal government\’s investigation powers after the
Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Washington Post has a story as well.

Hermit points to The Study, or at least the googlechache.
