I honestly have no idea what your point is. I don't mean that as an insult - I just have no idea what that has to do with the topic at hand. My hunch is that it's a typical "I think my pet topic (i.e. taxes taken from me and given to others) is the only thing anyone should ever complain about" post that we see far too often on FR. If you'd like to dispel that hunch, please elaborate.
My point is that with the amount of information the Government already coerces from you, its way too late to start worrying about the provisions of the Patriot Act, whose effect on 99.9% of Americans will be nil.
The need to be able to identify, penetrate, and neutralize enemies of the state trumps whatever "freedoms" you think you'll be losing.
People who have no problem telling the IRS their life story every April 15th seem pretty silly opposing a law meant to keep us safe.
