the pandora directive predicts the erosion of rights

from the pandora directive:
"The guy's a real joker isn't he? My. Murphy, did you ever hear of the Graham Act? That's an executive order that was enacted about forty years ago when the United States was having trouble with terrorist groups. It gives our agency carte blanche when dealing with internal security matters. So don't dick with me, Murphy, or I'll pul out my gun and blow your face off."
September 11th then happened. FIVE YEARS LATER!

The Patriot Act was then enacted, and it gave the NSA the ability to do anything they want!

Can the series writers see the friggin future, or what?!

there was meant to be some kind of nuclear war too.
Given what's going on with the current cold war (yeah that's come back again like a bad cold lol)
I'd say we're not too far off from making the Mutant League a reality lol.

At least plastic surgery will be cheap.
National Surveillance Agency was also a nice prediction, although as I was young in the 90s, maybe the signs were all there already. But with the fuss in the last year, it's never been more relevant.
