Today was my university's Patriot Act protest

[realisticphish]

(Ohio State University)
It was a joint project of the OSU ACLU and the OSU Amnesty International (I am a member of both). Over 100 students wore shirts saying "am i a terrorist?" and went into the main library (who cooperated) and checked out "suspect" books. Not much student turnout, but we didn't advertise, and this was more for the media anyway. Local newspaper people and camera crews were there (though one camera, from the local CBS affiliate, clearly said "police camera":scared:). Unfortunately, I could not participate, cause I couldn't get off work, but I watched it for quite a while from the library (where I work).

And a plus...at least 3 campus tours for prospective students stopped to watch :D
