Library Raid
Many places in this great nation have been raided for the sake of ‘decency’ to remove the ‘terrible scourge’ of pornography from the land.
Computer labs and ISPs, Larry Flynts offices and homes… but this is probably a first.
according to Buffalo News two suited men burst into a public library and made an announcement that you can no longer view pornography on the libraries computers.
This of course in the land of the free, in a state funded library.
The scene is the Little Falls branch of the Montgomery County Public Library in Bethesda, Md. Business is going on as usual when two men in uniform stride into the main reading room and call for attention. Then they make an announcement: It is forbidden to use the library’s computers to view Internet pornography.
As people are absorbing this, one of the men challenges a patron about a Web site he is visiting and asks the man to step outside. At this point, a librarian intervenes and calls the uniformed men aside. A police officer is summoned. The men leave. It turns out they are employees of the county’s department of Homeland Security and were operating way outside their authority.
Scary shit.
