ACLU, EPIC Seek Travelers' Stories about TSA Screenings<http://www.oif.ala.org/oif/?p=1750>

There has been much discussion among ALA members about the new enhanced pat-down procedures and full-body scanning implemented by the TSA, and the possibility that these procedures violate individual civil liberties. ALA members who are traveling by air in the near future who believe that their rights have been violated by a TSA screening, or believe that their TSA screening was conducted in violation of agency rules, should know that both the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) are collecting travelers' stories.

The Office for Intellectual Freedom and the Washington Office are monitoring this issue, including developments in the courts and in Congress. Reports and updates will be sent to the membership as events happen.
