The Patriot Act marginalizes privacy protections afforded American citizens under the Fourth Amendment by limiting the scope of antecedent justification and judicial oversight. The Fourth Amendment loophole of third party information has encouraged the FBI and other intelligence agencies to collect massive amounts of online information about private citizens, including persons who are not the subject of any investigations. Although collecting third party information about a person is no longer stringently protected after the Patriot Act was made into law, monitoring and recording the online activity of private citizens requires a warrant according to Katz v.

In Black Rain, the family patriarch would also like to repress and deny the events of the recent past, but his niece and lover were so obviously victimized and damaged by the war that in the end he is simply unable to do so.
