It's good to hear some positive news for once. Many aspects of the Patriot Act seem like nothing more then a repeal of the protections given to citizens against law enforcement in the last half century. The fact that many of these protections were put into place only after agencies like the FBI were caught egregiously violating the rights of citizens only makes their roll-back all the more galling. I don't dislike law enforcement but I certainly don't grant them unconditional trust, particularly given their spotty history of respecting the rights of the individual.
