the TIA will give the government the right to read you e-mail, log which sites you visit, and use that information to jail you or worse. So if you jest in you your personal e-mail about some worldly event ot happen to research say biological weapons for shcool the goevernment could use that against you and jail you with out telling you why....which is all thanks to the Patriot Act.
The Patriot Act in a nutshell allows the goverment to jail someone with out charges, indefinatly if they are seen as threat to national security.
Yes Big Brother is here.
