I believe the point of the "temporary" patriot act way back in 2001, was to catch terrorists before they can act.
Would you like the scorecard?
In 2,010 3,970 "black bag" aka "sneek-and-peek" searches, in which investigators may DELAY NOTIFYING a property owner that an area has been searched, were undertaken by the FBI. Less than 1% (less than 39 of the 3,970) were terror related. 76% were about drugs.
Between 2003 and 2005 143,000 National Security letters were issued. 53 cases were prosecuted. NONE for terrorism.
Ben Franklin is either rolling over in his grave or laughing hysterically.
