I was under the impression that section 215 was the NSL since it mentions the bit about gag orders on Wikipedia:

>The section carries a gag order stating that "No person shall disclose to any other person (other than those persons necessary to produce the tangible things under this section) that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has sought or obtained tangible things under this section"

No, the modern NSL was defined in section 505 of the USA PATRIOT Act, though it modifies statutes going back many decades. It was section 505, though, that let the FBI go hog-wild with them.
