Finally Congress is getting something right: the House passed restricting investigators to look at library records and bookstore sales slips. From the article:
  • Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told Congress in April that the government has never used the provision to obtain library, bookstore, medical or gun sale records.
    But when asked whether the administration would agree to exclude library and medical records from the law, Gonzales demurred. "It should not be held against us that we have exercised restraint," he said.

Reminds me of last Monday's episode of Penn and Teller: Bulls#!+! Haven't seen it yet, but it's about government watching us. Had someone pointing out that once the govenment takes something away, you won't get it back. Hopefully we can prove that wrong.
