I'd say people are simply afraid. The government gets the public riled up about some new boogeyman and gets public opinion in their favor. It's really effective.
There's more to the Patriot Act than I honestly know. But I'll tell you about what I do know. The act gives the government the ability to search through emails and tap phone lines of those suspected of terrorism, without a warrant. That violates the fourth amendment because according to the fourth, the government cannot search you without a warrant. So, having your phone calls listened to, or emails searched without a warrant (which would normally be illegal), have now become legal. The Patriot Act also redefines the definition of domestic terrorism. The definition is so broad now, that it could include activist groups too. Doesn't necessarily mean everything they do will be branded as acts of terrorism, just that the government will be keeping a close eye on them. To put it simply, the Patriot Act expands the powers of the government to place more surveillance over it's citizens. 9/11 was a tragedy, but let's not forget what Ben Franklin once said, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
