The Patriot Act greaty accelerated things, but it really began with religious groups trying to set (or rather influence) the agenda for print, radio, and TV.
But even I don't like to visit the US anymore, you get fingerprinted, your eyes are being scanned, and now you have to fill out long forms in advance. Makes you feel like a criminal being booked at a police station.
