What specific freedoms do you think you have lost in your personal life since enactment of the first Patroit Act, and in what specific respects are you less safe today then you were on, say, September 10, 2001 as a result of the passage of that Act?

First they came for the Communists,
  and I didn’t speak up,
    because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
  and I didn’t speak up,
    because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
  and I didn’t speak up,
    because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
  and by that time there was no one
    left to speak up for me.

by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

Well, in light of the Niemoller quote your posted, let me rephrase my question. What specific freedoms do you think you or anyone else you know or have read or heard about lost since enactment of the Patroit Act, and in what specific requests are you or anyone else you know or have read or heard about are less safe today than you were prior to enactement of that Act?

I'm starting to get the impression that you guys are the equivalent of the kid in the Bruce Willis movie who sees dead people that the rest of us don't see.
