; I find the argument that there is a list of those who have requested access
; to the restricted groups specious.  There are likely lists of what books
; I have checked out from the library, and what videotapes I have rented


As a point of reference:

The list of books a reader has checked out is considered confidential
information by librarians of free public libraries.  When a reader took
a gun and shot up some people at random in a mall near my home, the
police investigators visited the library and asked for her loan records.
The librarian refused to release them, cited the relevant (Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania) statute, and made it stick!
