About all I heard about the patriot act being used for was abusive 
intrusions (by my definitions of abusive.)  For example, a number of 
reporters were harrassed regarding communications with Adrian Lamo. 
Adrian wasn't accused of any terrorism.  This was affecting people 
around me, it hit a little too close to home.
