520 |a In recent years, there has been a lot of debate about the suppression of federal government information on the basis of national or homeland security. McDermott looks at those concerns and presents some of the recent history of withdrawn access; she also draw a wider picture and looks at the controls that have been imposed on public access in a variety of arenas.
