The PA still requires probable cause so they can't log on to your computer to see which sites you visit unles they have something on you first.
Trust me I'm one of the most anti Gov't people here (not in the terrorist way FYI) but as far as the Gov't getting in to peoples lives where they have no right to and so far the PA isn't been abused except they did use it to bust Paypal on their casino transactions.
I deal with Banking and there's been some changes but nothing that most banks weren't already doing. It just a fact that terrorists like to send money via common international transfers.
