Sou 161,

2. If your name has common Islamic name or names (first, middle, or last), congratulations! You have made the TSA’s No-fly/Watch List. You’ll be hassled at all US airports for domestic travel.

International travel will be another nightmare. If you are travelling to the US from the UK (this is after you have established your immigrant status in the US, and bullet item 1 applies to you), be prepared to be interviewed by the Special Branch (if you are a US citizen). Once you arrive in the US, be prepared to be whisked by the US Customs to the interview room for more ‘talk’. This is what happens to the US citizens who are muslims and have travelled back from the UK. They can read any/all documents in your possession under the Patriot Act. They can ask for your credit cards, banks cards or anything else in your wallet. Sweet isn’t it?

3. Patriotc Act deprives of any civil liberites unless you were a ‘born’ American. I love the bumper sticker: Born American, Born a Patriot. I support the Patriot Act.
   Meaning? Screw you immigrants.

hassled? I mean they have to make a call to make sure that you are not the same dude they have on the watch list, most of the times it takes them 2 minutes to do so and they are very polite about it.

for internatinal travel, i have yet to be fingerprinted or photographed, and I am a US immigrant and Uk citizen. As someone who travels to Europe quite often for work, The only hassle I have is the long waiting line at immigration desks.

and yeah patriot act sucks and is idiotic, but then is not much different from similar laws they have in the UK mon ami.
