I knew I shouldn't have gone there. I knew it would get me riled up. But I'm glad I went. Forwarned is forarmed.
From the web site:
" The proposed new Patriot Act powers also would let agents seize personal records from medical facilities, libraries, hotels, gun dealers, banks and any other businesses, without having to appear before a judge, and without any evidence that the people whose records are collected are involved in any criminal activity.
If it happens to you, the FBI does not have to notify you at all."
