So basically the Patriot Act says the police can break down your door, say you made bomb threats, haul you away without any evidence, hold you without a trial forever and seal all the evidence.

Yeah that sounds great. The government has police state powers against its own citizens. The Patriot Act was never meant to fight terrorism. It was passed in the post 9/11 terrorism hysteria in order to give the government marshal law powers against its citizens without ever having to declare marshal law and you're a fool if you believe otherwise.
