[h3] County Homeland Security Officers Try To Police Porn, Fail [/h3] [a href="http://djmonstermo.blogspot.com/"][/a]There's a story in today's Washington Post about two Montgomery CountyHomeland Security officers who try to police porn at a public library.After one patron is targeted and asked to step outside, the librarianresists. The police are called and the only ones ushered outside arethe failed porn cops. I hope the librarian gets thelibrarian-of-the-month award for standing up for free speech andprivacy.[blockquote]Two uniformed men strolled into the main room of theLittle Falls library in Bethesda one day last week and demanded theattention of all patrons using the computers. Then they made theirannouncement: The viewing of Internet pornography was forbidden.The men looked stern and wore baseball caps emblazoned with thewords "Homeland Security." The bizarre scene unfolded Feb. 9, leavingsome residents confused and forcing county officials to explain howemployees assigned to protect county buildings against terrorists cameto see it as their job to police the viewing of pornography.[/p][/blockquote]It's sad to see what happens when you give some people a tin badge and a cap.
