That is the headline of the front page Hartford Courant article today. Four librarians of Library Connection in Windsor challenged the FBI after receiving a national security letter last summer ordering them to produce records of patron internet use. They spoke publicly and legally for the first time Tuesday about their legal battle. Amendments to the Patrioat Act now "permit national letter recipients to consult a lawyer and mount a legal challenge." They were the first librarians in the nation to challenge such a demand. Whether others have received national security letters is unknown.
