    The Patriot Act expires December 31st 2005.  It is unlikely the
    entire act will go away. It has proven extremely beneficical in
    investigations-it provided mechanism for agencies to cross-talk that
    didn't exist before. As far as I know, there has been one incident of
    an investigative lead causing agents to examine an innocent.  

    It is highly unlikely that the entire act will go away. More than
    likely the individual parts will be examined, and the parts that have
    proven beneficial to terrorist investigations will be extended. The
    more controversial parts will probably be beaten up in the media, and
    hence left out of any legal extensions.
