Yes, this story needs wide circulation. So many rights were surrendered with the misnamed "Patriot" act. Since when do we deserve to be so mistreated and violated by our own government because someone thought we "look suspicious"?

It's always a balance between freedom and security, but the balance is tipping the wrong direction, and ten years after 9/11 we still haven't learned much.
