You should watch the movie "Zeitgeist" (German for "Signs of the Times). Here's the link: http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/

According to the documentary, all of your civil rights have been taken away by the US government. Under the Patriot Act, you can be arrested without a warrant. You can even be detained against your will if the US government suspects you're a terrorist even if there's no evidence to support the detention.

In short, you've been screwed by your own government.

Only terrorists have to worry about the Patriot Act. The Act has no effect on patriots.

Our right to privacy With the "Patriot act" the government could listen to whatever phone call they wanted without a warrant. If somebody believes that it isn't open for abuse than they are insane

If you give up freedom for security you deserve neither.

Not that much if you are a US citizen. For citizens, the most controversial part was that it took away some privacy, as the government could wire tap without telling you (if you were a suspected terrorist). Most of the other parts applied only to immigrants. As an American, I was glad to have the Patriot Act to protect us when we needed it. Unlike what our current president has done to keep the country safe…
