Thanks to the Patriot Act, the Fourth Amendment no longer exists.

That's a stretch to connect, missy. This article talks about logging data on idiots that volunteer to wear a GPS receiver that logs and uploads their every move.

Any other data that can be "mined" about unsuspecting folks can and has been already snooped with or without your knowlege BEFORE the Patriot Act showed up. YOU already allow the NSA to have a black budget that nobody can watchdog, so what's your beef?

Please tell me specifically what we have lost through the Patriot Act. No one has been able to cite a specific, just vague fears and angst. Give me one example of what privacy we have lost to the Patriot Act. I have not read it, but I do know all searches are still subject to judicial review and approval, just as now. Help me out here; I sincerely want to know the facts.
