"President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for attorney general has endorsed an extension of the law that allows federal agents to demand Americans' library and bookstore records as part of terrorism probes, dismaying a national group of independent booksellers."

It could have been worse. I mean, it could have been Janet Reno who would have just burned the book stores down.

library and bookstore records? Are they serious? Since when does possessing a book mean that you read it?

See just another reason why I'm happy that I only pay for stuff in cash, not that I'm doing anything terroristic, but damn, if I want to buy a book that is between me and the clerk at the bookstore.

lol trust me, the fact that you pay for things in cash doesn't mean there's not a record of your transaction.

Those sorts of things aren't hard to get. If someone really wants to find you, they will.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm in the FBI database, since my brother was a POW and I have a concealed weapons permit. they send those things on to washington I'm pretty sure, at least to my knowledge, I don't have a chip, unless in my drinking days someone slipped one in while I was out cold.
