And I didn't mean that the FBI would have removed the sign; I meant that someone working here who was unable to tell me that s/he had been subpoenaed would have removed it. John, my concern is for my library's patrons, not myself. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.

They have a sense of humor. :) If you are concerned that the FBI has opened a file on you because of your sign, send a Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act of 1974 request (see <a href="http://foia.fbi.gov/" rel="nofollow">http://foia.fbi.gov/</a> for details) for the information they have on you.

I doubt that the F.B.I. -- especially if they HAD visited the library -- would want the sign removed.
