[QUOTE="Timmy G, post: 12846, member: 189"] [b]John's talk about home searches[/b] Complaints and allegations of heavy-handed actions by terror investigators are on the rise, according to data compiled by the inspector general at the Department of Justice. The office has received nearly 5,200 such complaints with increasing frequency since Sept. 11, 2001, ranging from allegations of excessive force and illegal detention to 'illegal searches of personal residences and property by FBI agents,' according to reports from the office to Congress. Retiring Attorney General John Ashcroft has been a lightning rod of criticism over civil liberties, though no domestic terror attacks occurred on his watch. Five government anti-terrorism agents arrived at the door of Nancy Swift's modest home in a northern Virginia suburb last August, where Swift lives and rents out some rooms. They threatened her with a subpoena. They dispatched agents to her office to ask about her. They took away her garbage in the trunks of their cars, and they questioned one of her housemates. Swift said she has no idea if her house has been searched or her phones have been tapped. The USA Patriot Act makes it easier for agents to do both without notifying citizens. Swift said that Poole, the ATF agent, did ask her to use a regular telephone line as opposed to a cell phone when she called his office. 'With knowledge of the Patriot Act and knowing that everything can be surveyed now, I feel like I'm living in a fishbowl, even thought I may not be,' Swift said. 'I'd like to know whether I still have privacy in my life. It is a very eerie feeling.' Timothy Lynch, director of the Project on Criminal Justice at the libertarian CATO Institute, said agents are in a tough spot. They want to act aggressively to thwart terrorists, but still be careful of civil liberties. Lynch said tactics like the ones used in Swift's case, while legal, can border on intimidation.
