Good effort to the 28% of you who should not compete on Jeopardy. Here is the full answer for your benefit:
An act that has dramatically reduced restrictions on law enforcement agencies’ ability to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities.
Is your company concerned about the Patriot Act?

Thanks to all those that participated! If you have ideas for future quick polls, feel free to leave us a comment.
