Well considering the fact I personally believe the "war on terrorism" is a lie, there is no way I'm sacrificing anything to let the government snoop into my personal business.

I'm glad to see the judges decision on this. One of the problems I have with the Patriot Act is I just don't see the point in keeping the suspects name secret from the public after arresting him.

Well, so far John Ashcroft has said they have over I think it's 100 suspects in prison thanks to the Patriot Act. Maybe more. Regardless, I personally have not heard who their names are. Now this may not be written in the Patroit Act but it seems to me the government is not releasing any names.
At least I haven't seen anything where they mention a name. Have you?

Man, for an x-files fan you sure are taking everthing a little too literally.
The patriot act, as far as i understand it, is a modification of the laws that allows the government easier access to search warrants and that sort of thing.
