Patriot act ""...critics of the bill are still right to be worried about several of the provisions that remain.

For example, the bill gives the government far too much power to issue "national security letters," demanding private financial, medical and library records, without the permission or oversight of a judge. When the F.B.I. issues these letters, it can impose "gag" orders, making it illegal for those holding the records to talk publicly about the request. This makes it difficult or impossible for ordinary Americans to know whether the government is poring through their personal information, and for Congress and the public to monitor what the F.B.I. is doing.""
