I, for one, am saddened that the Patriot act is being used against such upstanding citizens as the friendly neighborhood meth-lab owner, and the nice guy that transports pipebombs across town.
Quote:
Federal prosecutors used the act in June to file a charge of "terrorism using a weapon of mass destruction" against a California man after a pipe bomb exploded in his lap, wounding him as he sat in his car.
A North Carolina county prosecutor charged a man accused of running a methamphetamine lab with breaking a new state law barring the manufacture of chemical weapons. If convicted, Martin Dwayne Miller could get 12 years to life in prison for a crime that usually brings about six months.

By the way, why is someone who runs a meth lab only getting six months in prison?
