The problem with the Act is that its enforcement is so secret by nature that one doesn't even know when they are being victimized by it. It is true tyranny at its best. This makes it hard to have standing in court. That is, you must be a victim of this law before you can bring suit. But how do you know you are a victim of a law that by its very nature demands the government operate in secrecy and not inform you that you are being monitored?

If you don't know that you're a victim, than you're not. Why should the federal government want to harrass individuals that are not involved in serious crimes?If your friend is a terrorist and telephones you from time to time, you will probably be investigated, but so what? Isn't it more important to safeguard our society when we're at war?
