Replying to Losing rights in the US...

So over the last few years we've obviously lost rights (in regards to the Patriot act and the recent 5th amendment fiasco) and our country has changed quite a bit but I was thinking it over and I can't think of anything in my own life that's changed drastically because of any of it. It's absurd to think that our country is changing in such a way and that people are being jailed unjustly and all of that, but what have you, personally, lost (or noticed within your life) due to all of it?

I expect to see quite a bit of responses about family and friends being sent to war, but what else?
