This is very, very frightening. What's more frightening is that when I scroll down this thread to read the responses, a lot of people are going to be cheering having government spy on what people are reading. I wonder what president hillary will consider "subversive reading material" and who will be on her "watch list?"

No, this is very, very B.S.

I haven't been getting that from what I've read in the threads on this story. I've seen the majority of posters question the legitimacy of this story, and I've seen a couple of libertarians hyperventilating. I have not seen anyone openly cheer the government watching people who are checking out Mao's book. I have seen one thing occasionally that is disturbing on these threads. I have seen a could of libertarians taking a newspaper story and the testimony of a couple of professors as unimpeachable, and then immediately running to the top of the soap box to proclaim their horror. I really don't understand why any self respecting libertarian would use this story as their battle cry for freedom.
