I think that I have yet to see something specific about the Patriot Act that asks me to sacrifice some of my liberty. I think you are a victim of some very well done fear mongering. But of course, this is a serious subject, and I am keeping my ear to the ground, and will let you know if I hear anything. And, the drug testing thing is, well, it makes this whole discussion on the patriot act moot, imo.

No, let's just make a LOT of MISTAKES and cost children, students, athletes their entire career and social life because of randon testing that is ERRONEOUS !!!!!! The more pressure put on the "drug testing sector" the more mistakes...the more LIVES RUINED for FALSE POSITIVES......You cannot TAKE BACK WHAT HAS HAPPENED.....once it's a wrong positive....you're life in high school, college, team etc is totally on hold and will probably be destroyed......even with full apology..... The Publicans want the government to be small and out of their lives.....yet they DEMAND IT CODDLE THEM and protect their monies and impose thier will on others bodies.......and LEGISLATE RELIGION to those others who believe in what this country was founded on.....FREEDOM OF WILL< SPEECH<RELIGION<............ The only thing this administration is living on is FEAR CC
