According to 2600.org, an amateur photographer was arrested in Denver last Tuesday for snapping pictures of a hotel in which Vice President Dick Cheney was staying. At the station house, a Secret Service agent warned the photographer that he would be charged under the USA-PATRIOT act as a terrorist.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has previously criticized USA-PATRIOT, but it focused mostly on its provisions for citizen surveillance. What this story emphasizes more are the broad police powers introduced by USA-PATRIOT, with ramifications far beyond the impact on technology (though, in this case, it happened to implicate technology).
