It's not bullshit, it's subtley facist and suspiciously all encompassing.

I don't like it, but it is a little over-dramatized. It is also unlikely to hold up in the Supreme Court. These sorts of laws aren't new. Similar laws have been in place in the UK for a while. It would be a good example to look at, see how it has been abused, if at all.
I wish articles about these subjects would give it a more level eye. Running about waving your arms screaming it's the end of the world is self-defeating. I too worry about the current attitude towards civil liberties, but we don't live in a fascist state.

I think it's a decent article, gives info numbers and links for more info and encourages further reading. But I do understand your perspective Skelly. Having moved recently from the UK to live in the US there does seem a little more paranoia about these acts. I don't think that the police in this country help this outlook.

this coupled with all of the other civil liberties erosion equals a lot more than you may think.
