What Ben Franklin would have thought of the Patriot Act

I doubt if the one of United States' founding fathers and greatest thinkers would be too impressed with the subtle and blatant curtailing of civil liberties by the enactment of the US Patriot Act. I stumbled across the following quote of Ben Franklin's earlier today while I was looking for something else. Wise words that the current administration could do with heeding.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. " --Benjamin Franklin
