I have not received a National Security Letter I have never received a National Security Letter, nor any warrant for search or seizure against any web site, domain, email account or physical computer that I personally own or operate. From this Washington Post article: [National Security Letters] (NSLs) are served on phone companies, Internet service providers and other electronic communications service providers, but because of the gag order provision, the public has little way to know about them. Their use soared after the September 2001 terrorist attacks, when Congress relaxed the standard for their issuance. FBI officials now issue about 50,000 such orders a year.One provision of an NSL is that the recipient is barred from discussing it or even revealing that it has been received. While I'm not an ISP, I do host web sites and email for a handful of friends and acquaintances. And while none of those are overly-political I have recently discovered that the FBI considers me (people like me, anyway) a potential terrorist. I don't have a PGP key so I won't be cryptographically signing this declaration, like eqe has, but here it is never-the-less: I have never received a National Security Letter, nor any warrant for search or seizure against any web site, domain, email account or physical computer that I personally own or operate.
