Big deal. Ordering airline tickets would not have raised anyone's eyebrows on or before 9/10/2001.

To use this as justification for seizing library records now is spurious.

Are citizens reading habits REALLY the key element to determining if a presumed 'terror cell' is going to strike. I would find it highly unlikely Abdul would be checking out 'How to Blow Up Stuff' from his local library.

On the other hand, if a Hillary administration thinks my conservative ideas are dangerous, and cross checks my reading habits, they could effectively witch hunt.

Never give a friendly government tools you would fear from an unfriendly one.

I would find it highly unlikely Abdul would be checking out 'How to Blow Up Stuff' from his local library.

Just as I would find it highly unlikely Abdul would be telling his flight school instructor that he didn't need to learn how to land.

But it happened.

You see, Abdul doesn't think like you or I.

Never has.

Oh - my guess would be quite the opposite. Internet access is free to anyone who can walk in and produce an ID (fake ones included).
