Nerd News: "Gagging recipients of National Security Letters found unconstitutional"

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/gagging-recipients-of-national-security-letters-found-unconstitutional/

A small step forward IMO.

As I have mentioned before, I have a lot in common with research librarians, have several friends that are professional librarians and some that are directors of libraries.

I know they all hate this part of the so called "Patriot Act," since they could be forced to reveal everything people were doing at library.

Fact is, many libraries changed their data collecting practices to limit amount/types of data they kept on patrons, students, and faculty because of the the Patriot Act.
