The USA PATRIOT Act has foreign competition:
Armed with some of the strictest anti-terrorism laws and policies in Europe, the French government has aggressively targeted Islamic radicals and other people deemed a potential terrorist threat. While other Western countries debate the proper balance between security and individual rights, France has experienced scant public dissent over tactics that would be controversial, if not illegal, in the United States and some other countries.
Didn't Jean-Francois Revel once ask, "Why is it that the dark night of fascism is always descending on America, but keeps landing on Europe?"
