“Ever hear of the McCarran Act?” I shook my head. “It’s the law. President Truman said it was a bad law and vetoed it but Congress overruled his veto. The McCarran Act does many things, among them, allowing the government to make a list of people they believe are subversives—troublemakers who want to disrupt our government. If there’s a national emergency, subversives can be rounded up. Put in prison camps.” “You on the list?” I cried. “I have no idea. I don’t want to be, but it’s possible.”
