[Penn discusses the 2001 Patriot Act.]
We can get more federal agents. Wow. What do we have to give in return?
[cut to penn and teller]
We have to give the government more power, but what power? The patriot act is "an act to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and for other purposes". Other purposes? What the fuck is that all about? Other purposes. You shouldn't even allow that kind of loose language in a fucking gym membership contract.
