This is a good op-ed piece from Leonard Pits of the Miami Herald that addresses a recent episode in the Montgomery County (MD) library in which a couple of overly zealous county department of Homeland Secuity officers began a confrontation with internet users in a public library. Here is the Washington Post article that described the library incident. It is good to see such absurdity brought to light; at the same time one wonders how much of this sort of thing goes on unreported.
