Subject: Rural Montana librarian a threat to national security

	Libraries are dangerous places

Excerpt:

	I learned today that she had recently submitted a request for a
	patron, ordering books from the large library in Billings. Being
	a tiny library, this is routine; she does this every week-- for
	folks who want to read items that aren't available, or maybe
	for kids who need something for a school report. She submits
	the order, the books come back, everyone is happy.

	Not this time.

	This time, she received these books; but they came with a letter
	informing her that because she had ordered them, she had been
	placed on a "Watch List." Pursuant to recent policy, with due
	respect for concerns with the requirements of the Patriot Act,
	she will have to appear in person in Billings before she will
	be permitted to order any more books.

My suggestion is that every librarian in every library in the
United States request a copy of these books (even if they already  
have one).
