The real problem with the patriot act, is that it makes it LEGAL to do many of the things the FBI has always done in the past. There can no longer be any legal action taken if they step out of line.
(For instance it immunizes the DOD, DHS, and FBI employees from being covered by the Whistle-blower act, which was designed to PROTECT employees from retribution for exposing wrong-doing by the people they work for.)
