Article in Mother Jones describing some brave librarians who stood up to the FBI. Imagine getting one of these national security letters (NSL):
The recipient of the letter could not disclose "to any person that the FBI has sought or obtained access to information or records." It was a lifetime gag order; break it, and he could be looking at five years in jail. "I believe this is unconstitutional," said Christian politely. In response he got a threatening scowl, a business card, and instructions to have his lawyer call the FBI.
