Dear Mr Ashcroft:
Please read the US Constitution. Particularly the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights.- Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,....
The so-called USA PATRIOT Act clearly violates this basic right by allowing the government to search and seize one's property and records without probable cause. The FBI only has to say that the records or items are sought for an authorized investigation. That's not all. They can come and take stuff from your home and they don't need to tell you that they did it--ever. Nor can anyone from whom they requested records (library, hospital, university, video store, membership organizations, etc.) reveal that the FBI seized those records.
