The Patriot Act

After September 11th, 2001 Congress passed the Patriot Act to detect and prevent terrorism. This law expands the power of the government in many ways. It allows the FBI to access business, library, Internet, phone and other personal records. Some people think that the Patriot Act is an important security measure that helps the government prevent terrorist attacks and keep the public safe. Other people believe this law sacrifices too much individual privacy.
Do you think the Patriot Act has made the U.S. safer from terrorism, or has it threatened our right to privacy?
