The Patriot Act Puzzles

I see myself sitting at a table with some kind of officials standing over me. The issue seems to be if I do not complete the puzzle correctly in a timely manor they will execute people who I care about, this was such a bizarre dream that it obviously could not have been real. Although while it was happening it seemed quite real. They even seemed to know who I cared about and who I didn't. To prove how serious they were the picked three people at random from my present and past and killed them just to start me off. It was then that the rules were explained to me. It was also explained their t there was a time limit for the time in which I could complete the puzzle.

The puzzle was said to be a coded message from an enemy we were at war with and our government could not crack it. This was how we were testing our citizens patriotism. You were not working against your government If and only if you could decode the message. If you could not decode it you and all those you love were working for the enemy. In reality the message was a kind of word jumble created by those who created the patriot act.

The whole concept of this kind of loyalty test creped me out and I woke up screaming. I keep telling myself that the U.S.A would never conduct a loyalty test like this.

I hope.
