Probable cause is a joke. No one is clean enough to not have probable cause, especially when driving.
The FBI can't even keep track of their own guns and computers, and we're going to trust them?
Most people aren't terrorists - I'd like to see how many have been a "person of interest" and more importantly - why?
I think they are using it for a crutch to make crappy cases stand up a little stiffer.
I want a referendum, not votes by the elected representatives (aka agenda holders).
What's the criteria for being designated a terrorist?
Short step to more gun control.
They can't even get the airports right and we're going to trust them to search homes and workplaces?

Anybody who wants to can learn about the erosion of individual freedoms in the United States by reading
Lost Liberties. It was written during Clinton's administration. It seems to me that all the Patriot Act did (in terms of real impact on individual rights) was place into law things that were already being done through regulation or executive order. Does that make these things right? Nope, and the IRS and their screwed up way of dealing with problems is a perfect example (IRS says you owe taxes, you disagree. They freeze/sieze your assets, bank accounts, etc. Now, you can't afford to fight them in court because your assets are frozen, even if they are dead wrong).
