Federal Agents Visit Student Over Library Book

HeadlineDec 19, 2005

Meanwhile in Massachusetts, questions over the extent of the government’s domestic surveillance apparatus have arisen after federal agents recently visited and questioned a student at Umass Dartmouth after he requested a book through the school’s interlibrary loan program. Two agents from the Department of Homeland Security reportedly visited the house of the student’s parents and said the book–Mao’s “The Little Red Book” —-— was on a “watch list.” One of the student’s professors said it appears that the Department of Homeland Security is monitoring inter-library loans.
