where are all the stories about people who have had their civil liberties so egregiously violated? I haven't seen a single story.

All of the violated people are in secret, locked dark rooms with panties on their heads.

You mean my rights are being violated... I thought I had the panties on my head for the heck of it... :)

"where are all the stories about people who have had their civil liberties so egregiously violated? I haven't seen a single story"........

I've never seen one. Possibly, there may be a "mistaken identity" tale out there...somewhere. But, easy enough to resolve.

Bring back the Patriot Act full bloom.....no sunset clause. Bad Guys don't like it. It crimps their style. Boo-Hoo.
