So long as "fear" is integral to misguided, unintelligent, inequitable,
and depraved *'governing'* in societies;  and the "dissipated"
*GOVERNORS* are permitted to use "fear" as a common instrument to
vitiate the natural and 'hard-earned' birthrights of others, each of us
stand to be victims;  prisoners of our collective folly.  

The "PATRIOT Act" is one of the largest collection of laws -
incrementally machined into place, all during the "information age";
when the world's libraries were at our fingertips, and 'bits and bytes'
move at electrical speed.  Even with the collective knowledge of our
past histories in the palm of our hands, and the power to organize
around 'a cause' - only keystrokes away, as a people, we still succumbed
to violent swirls of hysteria, hyperbole, fear, and thoughts of freshly
baked WHIFFS of WMD proclamations, and golden brown apple-pie -- /à la
mode/.

I guesstimate that your fears will be proven correct, if our past is any
indication!  I re-iterate my previous statement here, only to affirm my
continued position, which is: /"[s]o long as Privacy remains deeply
misunderstood among all that value it, societies in all, will remain
‘hog-tied’, and unable to scale capricious assaults upon it"./

To contextually add to the running conversation, kindly see the following.
