Someone wrote here in the recent past about libraries bypassing secret warrants by updating their boards every X days/months with a "nobody has served us a secret warrant" type message.

That might have been me. I did post about apparently legal ways to circumvent such secret warrants but I did not use a BB method but rather provide a service where clients can request if a warrant has been served on the library or ISP for their account or any account. The service provider is free to reply if no warrant has been received but is muzzled if one has. This failure to reply, which is not a positive action, is what reveals the warrant. rsync's approach appears consistent with mine. Steve
