Well, forfeiture has been a disgrace for years. I don't think anything done by the Patriot Act can compare with some of the rip-offs that have occurred by prosecutors screaming, "Drugs!" Secret searches also already happen on a regular basis. The only thing I see in the Patriot Act is it calls for a lower standard than was normally in place, and even then, it only applies to "agents of a foreign power."

I don't think that part does.....I can't SWEAR to that though offhand.
