Subject: RE: BS: FBI & Your Library Card - Libraries Warn
I'd like to thank Rapaire for so zealously guarding my rights. I may not be a terrorist, but if I decide to murder my wife and collect the insurance, there may be some books in the library that will help me bring that about. In that case, I would be very happy to know that Katlaughing and Rapaire have erased the records of my having checked out books on poisons, or poisonous mushrooms, or how to get a new identity and move to a Caribbean Island, or Forensic Evidence. As a potential murderer, it's comforting to know that any nosy cop who wonders why my wife is suddenly dead will be met by a dear little bun-haired old lady who will say "F**k You, get a warrant." The rest of the murderers and I are real happy that the records of any books we check out will be expunged to keep those nosy cops from using them as evidence.

What's really cool about the whole thing is the people who want to expunge those records in the name of protecting everybody's rights all share the ludicrous notion that cops have time to go on fishing expeditions for random terrorists or murderers.
