The Patriot act is crap because of the way it deals with the financial industry. You have no idea of the added cost to businesses unless you work in the industry. They should have worked out different acts to deal with the different situations. It has good intentions but it was not thought out properly. And if you have a common name that happens to be on the list(like Joe Smith) then good luck getting on a flight ever. There are congressmen that with names of people on the list and they get hassled every time they try to fly. Somebody needs to spend some time to fix the act and understand the impacts on industry as well.
