My further point was that neither should it trouble anyone else who, like me, has nothing to hide;

Amazing.

I guess some people just don't need freedom. I don't have anything to hide, but that doesn't mean I want the government poking around in my business whenever they want...in the name of 'Patriotism'. It's a freedom thing...maybe you just don't understand.

If you have any trust in the Bush Administration (and this is key), and let's limit it to that instead of some nefarious hypothetical regime of the future, they would not be poking around in the name of patriotism (perhaps the act should have another name), they would be poking around in the name of national security. I don't really think the Department of Homeland Security has the time and manpower to waste on random searches of good citizens like you. Still, as I said in a previous post, we have to make some concessions in this age of the terrorist unless we want to make the path to destroying us easier for them.
