the patriot was pushed into law following the 9/11 debacle. it is really an acronym that stands for
Providing
Appropriate
Tools
Required
To
Intercept And
Obstruct
Terrorism
Act

the act gives law enforcement authorities expanded powers to fight terrorism.

here is a good summary of the bill

The full acronym is actually the USA PATRIOT Act, which is "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act."

You can read the act for yourself <A HREF="http://www.epic.org/privacy/terrorism/hr3162.html" target="_new"> here.</A>
