In MCA, et al. v. Ashcroft and Mueller / Complaint for Declaratory and
Injunctive Relief, filed July 30, 2003, which is concerned with Section 215
of the Patriot Act.
You can read the complaint here:

I urge everyone concerned about the transhumanist agenda to take the time to
read at least the portion headed STATUTORY LANGUAGE AT ISSUE.
Here's a hypothetical to illustrate why Section 215 is relevant to the
transhumanist agenda:
On April 3, 2005, Sam Trostle, a 78 year old U.S. citizen, gets the bad news
that he is suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which will continue to
erode his brain until he dies. There is no known cure. Sam wants to undergo
cryonic suspension, but if he waits until he dies, there might not be much
of his brain left to save. He has done research on the typical course of the
disease, and it looks as though his last months will be highly unpleasant,
both for Sam and his family. Sam learns of a facility in China that has
developed a promising suspension process that is considered a medical
treatment under the local law. Sam and his wife begin making plans to go to
China, where Sam expects to spend his final days before being suspended. In
May, 2005 Sam makes a payment of $60,000 to the facility. Sam's bank duly
makes a Suspicious Activity Report (see US Bank Secrecy Act, as amended by
US Patriot Act). The FBI uses this report to get a secret warrant to search
Sam's office and home. There they find literature about doing business in
China and filing tax returns as a U.S. Expatriate. They also find evidence
indicating that Sam has visited a doctor who advocates physician assisted
suicide.
Sam sends in his passport for renewal on June 8, 2005. His application for
renewal is denied, because Sam is under investigation. Sam hires an
immigration lawyer to try to find out what's going on. By January, 2006, Sam
is no longer able to talk coherently. The lawyer is still working on the
case but has made little progress. In March, 2006 Sam's wife tells the
lawyer she no longer wants him to pursue the case.
On July 4, 2006 Sam dies in Birmingham, Alabama, never having had the chance
to leave the U.S.
