It seems to restrict things a lot. But not for anyone who has nothing to hide. I don't agree with the Patriot act and all it's curtailment of our freedoms but there has to be a better way to check the people who are terrorist from coming in to our country.

Extreme circumstances sometimes warrant extreme measures.
I don't like to see this country turn into a police state, but screening people as they enter and leaving this country is hardly turning this country into a police state, and it could prevent something terrible from happening where truly our freedom is lost.

Too far is when you give a leader or decider absolute power with no oversight from the people or government.
