I might add that the same law, enacted Jan. 7, 2008, also adds 18 USC section 119, which says that publicly revealing, for the purposes of intimidation, personal information, such as SSN or home address or home phone of a person described in sec. 1114 or of federal court juror, witness or magistrate or of a number of other categories, is also a felony.
Both provisions are too new to have yet generated court decisions. But, as far as I know, none of those liens against IRS employees because of their official duties has ever survived a court challenge.

My question is this....Has anyone ever made a claim against the bond that risk management is required to have on their officials??? I definately believe that filing liens on officials is bad juju unless it can be proven they acted in bad faith outside of their authority. This is a tough road to go! If you can prove your case, filing a claim against a bond is far less risky since it isnt against the official personally.
