ACLU AD ON PATRIOT ACT PLAYS FAST AND LOOSE WITH FACTS - The American Civil 
Liberties Union is running an ad alleging that the USA Patriot Act allows 
authorities to search homes "without notifying us . . . treating us all like 
suspects." That's not exactly true.
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_5296.shtml<http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_5296.shtml>

excerpts : (it's the *eventually* one needs to remember)

"Sneak-and-peek" searches are now easier to get, legal in all jurisdictions, 
and the law contains no practical limit on how long authorities can delay 
notifying the subject of a search. 

The USA Patriot Act does indeed include a provision that allows the 
government to conduct searches and seizures without immediate notification.

....The law also allows federal law enforcement officials to apply to a court 
for extensions of the initial delays, and the evidence so far is that these 
are being granted routinely, delaying notification for longer periods. 
According to an official DOJ response to Congress, as of April 1, 2003, the 
department had sought an average of five extensions for each warrant actually 
granted, and the courts have granted all such requests. A spokesman for the 
DOJ would not comment on the length of the extensions.
