A very kinky, very sexy and extremely patriotic sex act that you should be proud of achieving if you pull it off, man or woman. See American Pounding.

Someone who spies on their teenage children mercilessly, secretly reading texts, emails, internet histories and facebook posts in order to attempt to know everything about their private lives.
guy 1: Dude, how did we get busted? That party spot was foolproof!
guy 2: It was Jake. His mom's a total patriot act parent, and she stole his phone and read through his texts.

(n.) Any arrest without a warrant or witnessed crime made without any charges filed, no access to a lawyer, no civil protections, and no possibility of a trial in the foreseeable future, made possible by the PATRIOT Act (a US law that is still the cause of polarizing controversy) and used to accuse innocent people of being terrorists because they work as a cashier in a store that a captured terrorist used to shop at (or something equally pointless).
Every time that a Patriot Act arrest is made, America walks further along the path of self-destruction.

surprisingly, the critics of this who say congress didnt understand it haven't read/understood this document either. they just hear the main gist, and make stupid assumptions, or they just hear what other people say and repeat it without thinking. the patriot act doesnt say it can tap anyone, or get a warrant without any evidence whatsoever, or arrest anyone for no reason at all. It loosens restrictions that have been a big problem in preventing things from actually getting done. it also has a big part of making the way for intelligence agencies to share/give information to the proper departments and agencies in order to be effective for once and stop fucking around.
fact: the terrorist who was planning to knock down/destroy the Brooklyn bridge was arrested thanks to the Patriot Act. He was being tapped, and the word Brooklyn Bridge came up often. Pre-Patriot Act: courts would have asked when is this attack? how is it going to be attacked?...dont know? no warrant. But the information was turned to the NYPD, extra enforcement placed on the bridge, and then wire taps revealed the guy backing off because there was too much heat and security. A raid of his apartment showed shematics and plans on how he planned on destroying the bridge. You would know this if you read a newspaper, watched the news...anything. I hope plenty of you critics who drove across that bridge consider you could have been on that brdige with a terrorist cutting cables, blowing up the beams, or w/e, that wasnt caught with the aid of the Patriot Act. Numerous cells have been captured thanks to the Patriot Act.

Im glad so many of you are ignorant, and yet critical, of the Patriot Act. Because if the Patriot Act did what you say it does, all of you would be arrested for criticizing it. And yet, you're still here.
