MagiK, that IS the bullet-point list. Read it. Each paragraph is a bullet point. The act is HUGE, so summaries are going to be lengthy. Just because it isn't impacting your life, doesn't mean it shouldn't offend you. You are a WASP (no offense, but IIRC it's accurate), so the act is targeted at most everyone else more than you. But, woe be it to you if you have a friend named Aziz who happens to write you a letter one day.
My basic gripes: no one should be held indefinately (or for over 12 hours, IMO) without a charge being filed, and no one should ever be denied a lawyer (which is a constitutional right if you're a citizen -- but which this law calls into question). Think about it, you're arrested today, and it's THREE DAYS before the feds let you see a lawyer. Do you know how long most confessions take? Can you endure 3 straight days without sleep, fielding complex questions, being told you are an evil liar and you should just come clean, having FOOD held as a reward for saying what they want (whether or not it's the truth)? If YOU could endure that, SHOULD you?
But, there are many other little problems -- check the list, just because one hasn't bitten you in the arse yet doesn't mean it can't or won't.
