Her point is plain; in her estimation, it is far better for terrorists to do their deeds and escape than it is for law enforcement to look at her library's records.

Anyone who doesn't want to be among those records has the choice of not checking out books or other material. Keeping those records from me -- or anyone else -- is an assertion that some people have more rights than I do to access to public records.
