The Patriot Act. A law designed at screening out terrorist acts before they happen. Does it go too far?

Sources say the act does survey activities going on in the United States, but it doesn't do so proactively. Instead of targeting one group that spawns known terrorists, it targets all Americans, putting them under the microscope.

The law monitors internet habits, reading habits, and other various activities once deemed very mundane to the human eye. However, according to law markers, these activities in combination could put the green light on signaling a potential terrorist act.

Massachusetts Representative, Kay Khan inquired about the "Patriot Act's" conduct after questioning repeatedly why a $300.00 wire was denied. She found out that her brother's name had been put on a "watch list" due to the fact a terrorist may use that exact Alias. "So we are on some list, which is scary," she said. "I just feel that its intrusive."

It has been suggested by some parties in the country that the government use "Proactive Intelligence Screening". This act would target a specific group that repeatedly turns out terrorists provided they meet specific guidelines, which would be governed by how long they've been in the country, whether they are citizens or just here on a visa, and other determining factors. However, the liberals argue that this is just advanced racism, an argument shot down by security experts as "ludicrous".
