Civilian participants at a University of Texas conference titled �Islam and the Law: The Question of Sexism,� attracted the attention of US Army counterintelligence. Two agents with the Army�s Intelligence and Security Command from Fort Hood, Texas went to the law school seeking information on conference participants. The army�s action bypassed an FBI waiver requirement designed to protect citizens from military investigations.
