Yeah, I know the Patriot Act is horribly abused by law enforcement. The movie points out warrantless wiretapping can be abused. What more do you want? It's Batman, he does that shit all the time in the comics without any reference at all to the abuses of the Patriot Act. He just does it because he's Batman. So for Nolan to put that in there kind of made me think he wanted me to think about the facets of the current socio-political issues surrounding the Patriot Act.

In the new movie, there is a new controversial law called the Dent Act that increases the ability of the state's ability to incarcerate people for longer time periods, institute mandatory minimum sentences for more and more minor crimes, etc. Sound familiar? Like a current socio-political issue, perhaps?
