An editorial from the Christian Science Monitor, July 8, 2003: Privacy at the Library –
“The Patriot Act, designed to help combat terrorism in the US, has many citizens worried about censorship and a loss of privacy. Vigilance certainly is warranted when it comes to ensuring Americans’ precious freedoms. And that includes ongoing, thoughtful consideration of provisions designed to protect the country and its people – in this case, the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protection of citizens against unreasonable search and seizure.”
