Well then, there is that current airline travel blacklist. Senator Ted kennedy got caught on that one. It took him three weeks of intensive effort to get off the list, and he is one of the nations most powerful senators. Ordinary citizens have no chance in hell of getting off that government blacklist.

Not in the case of libraries. Part of the patriot act permits law enforcement to get records about your library usage and nobody involved is permitted to tell you about it.

As a result of that legislation, libraries are now purging their checkout lists frequently. In the past they kept forever the records of who had checked out what books.

Can you cite the part of the Patriot Act that permits this without a court's permission?

Libraries are public,thus their records are public.
