Patriot Act has effected me
I have been personally effected by the Patriot Act. When I was trying to get my fiancé on my bank account there was extra paperwork to fill out and intrusive questions asked. These forms and questions were very invasive and in my opinion took away essential privacy and liberty. I asked why I had to do this and was told it’s because of the Patriot Act. I have also heard that if you are an individual that makes a bank transaction for more than $10,000 you will be put on a watch list. We are all affected by this Act, we just don't notice it. You will always be blind to something until you know what you are looking for.
For all the bitching about the Patriot Act, has it really affected anyone's life... at all? I can't think of one way in which it has affected mine. Or because I'm not alarmed, am I not paying attention? I think when Libertarian ghosts haunt a building, they say, "Patriot Act" instead of "Boo".
