Note: The kid was a hoaxer. I was a hoaxee. – Dec. 29, 2005

According to SouthCoastToday.com, a senior at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth was visited by the feds after he requested a copy of Mao’s little red book via inter-library loan. The agents said that the book was on a “watch list.” They brought the book with them but would not leave it with the student.

Ah, books on watch lists. Visits by federal agents. University research under the all-comprehending eye of government bureaucrats. Thomas Jefferson would have been proud! [Tags: HomelandSecurity security libraries]
