Are you ready to rumble?
In this corner, weighing in at 95 letters without spaces, 10 letters abbreviated, is the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (USA PATRIOT).
In the other corner, weighing in at 25 letters, 4 letters abbreviated, is the Security and Freedom Ensured Act (SAFE).
The SAFE Act aims to modify some of the provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act. I have not read either law/bill through, but from what I hear tell, the SAFE Act will negate some of the controversial provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act. Depending on whose side you listen to, the SAFE Act will either gut the governments ability to catch terrorists plotting to kill every American and drown sacks full of fluffy kittens and puppies afterward, or it will stop the government from putting a proctosigmoidiscope up the butts of every law-abiding citizen's library records to distract us while the tap our phone calls to Gramma.
For some reason, I don't believe either side.
