While I'm not sure that someone had their career "protectected" I think it's been long since clear that the Patriot Act was a mistake. The American people should always have been wary of a piece of legislation designed specifically to limit freedom and increase government surveillance.

Fear is a remarkable motivator.

I personally prefer the quote "If tyranny comes to this land, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross." To be honest, I cannot remember whom the quote is attributed to, and lack the time right now to find out. :-)
