It’s something of a tradition to occasionally frankenstein together a backronym for bills/acts. Feel free to search “worst US backronyms” or similar for more!

@swlabr @mii One of the most notorious is the USA PATRIOT Act - Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. Really.

Its counterpart in UK legislation is the Terrorism Act 2000, which manages to be both more informative and much, much shorter.
