The Patroit Act is something that allows the government to punish and torture terrorist who have or are in the process of a terrorist act. Whether they have gone through with the terrorist act or not, the Patriot Act allows government to deter the terrorists and interrogate them in a physical way also to get more information out of them. I think it's a far Act because it prevents some terrorist acts from happening, not all, but at least some.
fair* oops
