Has your life been altered due to it? Do people realize that it has inhibited potential attacks on Americans?
I don't understand why people have a problem with it.
Maybe this will help you understand why people have a problem with the PATRIOT ACT. It steps on the rights of American citizens. If you don't get it, maybe should should consider changing your screen name
This is the most ridiculous thread ever. It would be like asking Germans in the 1940's why they would have a problem with a concentration camp as long as they weren't taken to one, yet.

Our civil rights can be abridged in a nanosecond under the USA PATRIOT ACT. If you're familiar with Orwell's 1984, our rights are not too far removed from the Orwell's fictional dystopia.

I don't understand why some people are so willing to trade liberty for a false sense of security. If you feel so weak that you must surrender your liberty why not move to a nation that offers little liberty instead of destroying our US Constitution?

If people are so pussified that they are willing to give up everything that their predecessors won for them, then maybe they should just take a rope into the bathroom with them next time they go. At least that way they won't have to live their lives being so terrified of their own shadow that they can't come out from under their bed.

“Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security”
1) The brokerage specifically cited the PATRIOT Act in their letter.
2) When I relocated, I successfully opened a bank account and they never had any objection to addresses not matching - it's not even clear whether they pulled my credit report. (At least the copy I later requested made no mention of it.)

Customers opening accounts at brokerage firms must supply financial information that satisfies the "Know Your Customer" requirement for routine purposes under the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FinRA) Rule 2090.
Would it shock and amaze you to know that MSNBC lied? The USAPATRIOT Act has never been ruled unconstitutional by any US court. The FISA provisions in the USAPATRIOT Act, cited by the article you posted, still exist.
Mayfield won his $2 million suit in court because "FBI agents had made inaccurate and ambiguous statements to a federal judge to get arrest and criminal search warrants against Mayfield." It had absolutely nothing to do with the USAPATRIOT Act.
Would you like to try again?
And P.S. I asked a civil question. If you can't respond without the snide tone, don't bother responding a all.
