I didn't bring up the Patriot Act. Still, this will be the last I say about it, lest I take this too far off topic:
The Patriot Act may or may not be useful, but it's to gather intelligence against suspected terrorists. Many of the rules were to counter recent restrictions like FISA, so it would have been a return to the past rules. I don't know of any cases in which it's been used any other way.
If you find this a greater restriction on your freedom than rules that tell you what insurance you must have, what light bulbs to put in your house, what foods to eat, and other regulations, then we just worry about different things.
