"The USA Patriot Act and other actions that expanded the powers of the executive branch in matters of national security are necessary to protect the citizens of the United States from foreign and domestic threats."
I agree with the USA Patriot act. The benifits outweigh the downfalls. Yes they may be accessing info about what you are doing but they are not using it against you in any way. I Have absolutely nothing to hide and would rather had my files and info looked through than be dead, have my family killed or many innocent people die from an act of terrorism. It is their to look for terrorist activity to protect and secure our safety and if my personal info about hotels and ect. has to be violated to possible save lives then so be it. I would rather be alive and someone know about everything i do than dead.

Summary of the Patriot act from moodle. All it is for is terrorist activity. It is not for going into your private property and raiding you stuff. Its just to save lives.
