Those of you who surf the Internet Archive regularly can feel a
little safer... The FBI has backed off their demand to know what
you've been looking at.
I.A. successfully resisted such a demand in court.
The Patriot Act allows the FBI to demand info about library / archive
patrons, and the library / archive is FORBIDDEN BY LAW to even
discuss the request with anyone. I am surprised the gag order didn't
extend to court depositions, i.e the Archive weren't charged with a
crime simply for writing down their story in the lawsuit filing itself.
Those of you who imagine terrorists under your bed (and Indians
behind every tree) can feel less safe.
