Even so, TPM is right and the Judiciary branch will probably declare this law unconstitutional within time. And I'd like to restate what I said earlier and say this will probably just blow over and nobody should have panic attacks from this unless you've done something to make yourself look suspicious.
Like storing more than 7 days' worth of food? Or being a protester? If the Judiciary branch did its job, it would have struck down the Patriot act after that passed. And so far, years later, it hasn't.
