__Little Brother by Cory Doctrow. Following a terrorist attack on San Francisco, high school student Marcus and his friends are detained and interrogated for days by the Department of Homeland Security. Following their release, Marcus realizes he is now living in a police state and everyone is treated like a potential terrorist. How much freedom are we willing to sacrifice in the name of security? Would fit with other dystopian novels. MB__
