What I find distasteful and disturbing is the governments claim that in
going to court to stop the warerntless search , the library was aiding
terrorist. I also find the quote that the reason such searches can't get a
warrant is that they may not have enough "information" to get one
Translation, we don't have evidence for a warrant but we want one anyway
This is one of the very , very few cases in which the issue of warrantless
searches even became public
These librarians are my heroes not only challenging the government on this
But for working so hard against such odd to even make the story public

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
