All people are accountable for their actions. Apparently some feel a person should be able to slide if the action is perceived as not serious. I am sure the person wbo was not able to call 911 when that clown's prank was in progress considers the action serious. Wheter he is charged under the Patriot Act or some other act, he should be held accountable.

For those who think the Patriot Act has given government undue power, wake up! All levels of govenment strech the law. Unfortunately some people have an agenda, and position and authority allow them to inflict that agenda on innocent people. For example, how many people have gone to prison for crimes they didn't commit? The Patroit Act is not the problem, people are the problem. People who do not want to be held accountable for their actions, whether they be in government or some guy pulling stupid pranks with his computer, are the problem. Imperfect laws are made by imperfect people. At least we have a system of law that allows us to say what we think about our laws.
