Though, that is rapidly changing. I havn't read the texts of Patriot
act I and II, but what I've heard of them. Scares me.

Indeed. It's precisely and specifically due to abuses such as this,
which the
British Crown has been perpetrating against its subjects for at least
a
quarter of a millennium, that our Bill of Rights places tight
restrictions on
the government's authority to carry out searches:

"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, supported by
Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and
the
persons or things to be seized."

I thank God that I live in America, not in Britain. And that we here
are
citizens. Not subjects.
