Revised Patriot Act targets allergy, cold meds

Suffer from springtime allergies? You could be among the first affected by the USA Patriot Act poised for final congressional passage this week.

Besides terrorism, the bill takes aim at the production of methamphetamine, a highly addictive drug that cannot be manufactured without a key ingredient of everyday cold and allergy medicines. The bill would impose new limits next month for how much relief a person can buy over the counter.

And beginning Sept. 30, it'll take a flash of ID to buy that medication.

Just another example of a police state. You have to get permission through a government law, to do something. That is totally wrong. Some states will scan your ID too. There gateway to all your information.
