Ignorant UK resident here.
Whats the patriot act and whats wrong with it.
The Act dramatically reduced restrictions on law enforcement agencies' ability to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and broadened the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, thus enlarging the number of activities to which the USA PATRIOT Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.
Opponents of the law have criticized its authorization of indefinite detentions of immigrants; searches through which law enforcement officers search a home or business without the owner’s or the occupant’s permission or knowledge; the expanded use of National Security Letters, which allows the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to search telephone, e-mail, and financial records without a court order; and the expanded access of law enforcement agencies to business records, including library and financial records. Since its passage, several legal challenges have been brought against the act, and Federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are unconstitutional.

Those who would surrender essential freedoms for temporary security deserve neither. -BFI don't have anything to hide, why do I care if they search me?
(Somewhat of a devil's advocate stance rather than a serious statement.)

We have the constitution for a reason; if we let ourselves get controlled like this, we'll end up losing all of our rights, like China.While I have only just been opened up to this act, I don't really see the biggest of problems with it. If you have done nothing, you have nothing to fear, right?
