Seriously, have any one of you been affected by the patriot act, other than more delays at the airport?
Yes, they have been affected by the Patriot Act in many ways, but not in obvious ways.
Mostly in the area of privacy.
Every phone call and Email are scanned these days.
But, this is war and for the safety of our lives and the future of this land, it needs to be this way.
If there were no right to spy on all communications, then there would not be the uncovering of plans by terrorists.
We Americans live our privacy and freedoms, but I dare say we value our life a bit more, so we understand the necessity of the Patriot Act.
