"Patriot Act"? The laws were already in place back to the times the POTUS declared a "state of emergency" and--whoops--never got around to canceling it. We Americans are still technically under a "state of emergency"whether we know it or not. That said, I remember a housemate who had a very good scale . . . that he used in his drug deals. I'll bet most of your answers to the other question will be, "No, I don't." Americans tend to only deal with bathroom scales, and things that register less than 1/2 pound are so specialized as to be unusual. And you know how we are about unusual! If you don't want to do the ID thingie, order from a scientific supply. But we are, slowly, having our "freedoms" removed. If quickly, we'd all get our guns and go take them back; those in power know that. So they're putting us to sleep with friendly words, nice speeches, and lotsa TV while they slowly remove how we used to be able to do it. But it's not my country. I'm only an ambassador, living here while offering terms of peace before the violent takeover by the One who actually owns this planet.
