<font color=blue>"Do you think a terrorist would fill out that document honestly? Or would they lie about relevant information regarding their identity, intentions, or finances?"<font color=black> The more false information they supply, the higher the risk they take in setting off 'red flags' that could trip a terrorist up. It makes it far more difficult for them to do their dirty work right under our noses. That is a clear plus for us. And far less importantly, they also risk having that false application rejected. I never said that the Act was perfect, nor that those within this massive bureaucracy (at all levels of gov't) implement the provisions of our laws & regulations flawlessly. I'm just not going to change my POV on the overall Patriot Act without clear evidence of significant, credible flaws.
