The Patriot Act

Herewith, the gist of the two-hour Patriot Act meeting J. (who works at a university library) attended this afternoon:



If someone comes in asking for information about a patron:

• Ask them if they have a warrant.



• If they don't have a warrant, tell them to go get one.



• If they have a subpoena, say "I'll take this to our lawyers. Have a nice day."

Now our libraries will be safe for democracy. Or something like that.
