When you give up your liberties for security, you get neither.

Well that just sucks. Isn't going against...at least three dictates of the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms? They can't do that to people. It's absolutely illegal. The only time in Canada we've been able to get away with that was in '70 when Trudeau busted out the good old War Measures Act which basically meant our government could do whatever necessary for the good of Canada. But then I think it's only been enforced once or twice...

Still, that is complete garbage and shouldn't be allowed.

(Hey warmachine )

No attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11. Have we forgotten 9/11? Perhaps our spying has prevented these attacks.

Will the U.N. protect me from terrorists? lol.

any one involved in the passing of the patriot act should be tried for treason and shot when/if they are found guilty

I think you would end up shooting every Congressman, absent Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul.

What liberties have I given up?

reasonable search and seizure

for one

free speech at govt meeting for another

the right of hapus corpus (the big one)

you can be arrested confined and never get to see a judge

to name a few

try googling -- patriot act of 2001

and no the revision did not pass -- patriot act 2003
