I've been trying to take out a final loan to pay for college, and my application has been taking forever to process. I finally found out today that the holdup was due to missing information in my application, which I needed to supply in accordance with the PATRIOT act. I moved into a new apartment recently, and since none of my mail has actually been sent here yet they can't verify that I live... where I live. So I have to fax/send a copy of the lease agreement and my passport, etc.

I'm not complaining about having to send extra information, even if they didn't inform me I would have to do this on the application, and I will probably have some late fees tacked onto my account because of the delay. But what I don't understand is how this is supposed to "fight terrorism." Any terrorist can get a lease, and faxing a fake passport or driver's license (or hell, even a real one if you don't have a criminal record) isn't exactly difficult. These laws only affect people who abide by them, and anyone who doesn't care about blowing up a building and killing people certainly won't care about breaking or skirting a few laws.

sorry, end rant
