I do not believe I am a criminal either but apparently Mr. Ashcroft
feels that someone with my name may be. Even though I am a Delta

airport security for "special" search four times. Once accompanied by
two policemen. A ticket agent finally told me that my name is on the
National "No-Fly" list and that I should expect to be watched and
subjected to additional searches any time I fly.

You might want to check the vote on the Patriot Act.

For some odd reason, many people think that John Ashcroft made it up.

Its true.

A majority of Senators and Congressmen from both parties voted for the
Patriot Act, however many of these same people now claim Ashcroft is employing
his new power in ways they never anticipated or intended.

This is what is behind the move to reject renewal of the Act or to at least
amend it.
