Not to be all fact-checkee, but this is a bit of overstatement. It's not "under the Patriot Act" but rather part of a list of characteristics that US LEA and intel orgs use as a sort of profile of suspicious activity. The stocking of food is one of several activities, when combined with others, that might be worth considering suspicious. Now I believe our security organizations such as HLS and TSA are overreaching, reactionary, and thuggish, and that any number of our policies supposedly designed for the evil terrorists are in fact abusive to citizens, and ought to be unconstitutional, but I still recognize that that "7 days of food" thing is not accurate. I think you might have successfully trolled me, heh.
