Jome:
In detail, what does the partiot act say.. ??

Montana00:
It basically gives the american government freedom to do what they want.

The Bush Administration's Patriot Act  threatens our constitutional rights and civil liberties. Passed by a post 9/11 Congress, the Patriot act expands the ability of law enforcement to conduct secret searches, and engage various forms of surveillance, including internet monitoring and wiretapping. It gives the FBI access to American citizens' highly personal medical, financial, mental health, and student records without notification or permission, and allows them to investigate individuals without probable cause of a crime. Finally, it permits non-citizens to be jailed based on mere suspicion and held indefinitely in six month increments without meaningful judicial review.

Machiavelli:
I accept the Patriot act as well as Racial Profiling.

If I see a guy wearing a turban going through security in an airport i would stop him and interagate him. I dont give a fuck.

I know that sounds fucked up, but we gotta make sure theres no wacko doing Terrorist shit in the US.
