As a library trustee, I have said that if we are served with an order under the Patriot Act, I'll hold a news conference on the library steps to announce it, then see if the government can get a jury to convict me. But it's easier said than done. (I can't tell you, for reasons of national security, whether I've been afraid to keep my promise, or haven't had to.)

Say what, what?
What would they convict you of, standing on the library steps? What am I missing?
