County Officials Apologize After Library Porn Incident
“Montgomery County officials are apologizing Friday, after two local Homeland Security Department employees tried to prevent people from searching for pornography on the Internet in a public library last week. Montgomery County Executive Doug Duncan tells WTOP the officers clearly broke county policy when they told one Little Falls Library visitor his choice of Internet site violated sexual harrassment laws. ‘These security officers clearly overstepped their bounds,’ Duncan says. ‘They are not there to look at what people are doing in our libraries and other facilities. They are there to protect those facilities.’ This type of incident will not happen again, Duncan says. ‘It’s a matter of training and we’ll make sure we get the right training and make sure people understand what their roles and responsibilities are,’ he says. Duncan says he wants people to feel their privacy will be respected in county libraries. ‘We want people to come to our libraries and feel safe and secure and get the information they need,’ he says. The security officers involved in the case have been re-assigned.” — WTOP (US)
Not long after telling you that the FBI’s special unit of “hard-on hunters” probably wouldn’t be bothering you personally in your pursuit of weird kicks, PervScan stumbled on this story of Homeland Security Department goons preventing a library patron from searching for porn. Good lord! These goons didn’t want some guy ogling busty Rachel Aziani in plain view of clerks and kids? Were they afraid he was going to expose himself like this guy? What’s next? They’ll read over your shoulder to make sure you don’t drool over the good parts in Lady Chatterly’s Lover?
Seriously now, do you have to be a conservative old fogey to think that the library is just not the place to be ogling teen sluts? How’s a person supposed to concentrate on some serious research when he’s got wankers hogging up the free internet connections? Protesting the efforts of the Homeland Security Department, a library executive told newspapers, “We want people to come to our libraries and feel safe and secure and get the information they need.” So does that mean that masturbating creeps make other library patrons comfortable and secure?
C’mon guys. There’s a time and a place for everything. You don’t read Spinoza in a buddy booth, and you don’t beat off in a public reading room.
Your commentary on this is particularly inane. If someone were to beat off in a public reading room, they would be simultaneously thrown out and arrested.
However, if they were to view obscene material for any other reason, for example to research material for a website such as your own, that is their business and the library is there to serve them.
If they were to view material that may only debatably be considered obscene, do you think that every library (or Department of Homeland Security employee) is well equiped to determine the nature and intent of their internet usage? Are people allowed to write a report on Mapplethorpe in your library?
My university did not allow computer lab employees to tell students where they could surf, and it seemed like a very good policy to me. I never saw or heard from anyone who had a problem with the surfing habits of their neighbors.
Prudescan.
Looking for porn in a public library is tacky at best, but whatever it is, the fucking Department of Homeland Security has absolutely no business in the matter. That’s just dark.
These Homeland Security Department (goons) are probably like a lot of assholes with a little bit of authority…they are egotistical control freaks who want to impress ever one with their importance.
Too bad we couldn’t send them to Iraq, where they could provide some much need security for the troops.
They could ride on the front of the humvees looking for land mines.
