Now, I'd be really impressed if you came up with something for that acronym to stand for.

I think that somebody has that, as their actual full-time job. I wonder how you get that job.

Or, I guess a computer could do it, if you fed it the right generically positive vocabulary.

Or maybe, it's just like a case, like H.Y.D.R.A...
...where it doesn't actually stand for anything, we just assume that it does.

Well, the Patriot Act was the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" Act. If they can work up the courage to push the concept of an acronym that far, I don't imagine there's any length they couldn't work around to eventually.

Wow, really? I guess you learn something new everyday.
Sort of reminds me of a lawyer friend of mine; who said that if you get to use letters for your exhibits there's no rule governing which letters you use. As such, she liked to start with exhibit g, followed by u... l...i...t... y. For subliminal sake.

I used to like to spell it out U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T., I think that it more accurately conveys the depth of cynical political maneuvering being employed. But then, we do seem to love attaching patriotism to matters of military and law enforcement encroaching on everything else. I guess it's simpler that way.

A dictatorship of the competent...which is what democracy should be.
