There's a provocative list of forbidden CIA and NSA/CSS records which are not available under the Privacy Act, and which constitute a sort of negative awaiting development: http://jya.com/cia-privacy.htm (82 categories) http://jya.com/nsa-privacy.htm (19 categories) There are similar lists of national privacy proscriptives for most federal agencies available at the source for these. The one for Defense is an elephantine 1.4 MB, with tiny tims for the TLAs.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The mentally challenged in the audience couldn't figure out what McVeigh was saying with his Brandeis quote at the sentencing hearing. I think we can probably figure it out. It is from Brandeis' dissent in OLMSTEAD v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438 (1928) one of the first *wiretapping* cases. Here is the whole of the concluding paragraph with the quoted portion in square brackets: http://www.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=277&invol=438 "Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. [Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example.] Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means-to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal-would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this court should resolutely set its face."
