Answer to Question 2

Congress passed the USA Patriot Act (USAPA) on October 26, 2001 . The bill is over 342 pages long, creates new laws, and makes changes to more than 15 existing statutes. Its aim is to give sweeping new powers to domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies in an effort to fight terrorism, to expand the definition of terrorist activities, and to alter sanctions for violent terrorism. The USAPA expands all four traditional tools of surveillancewiretap s, search warrants, pen/trap orders (installing devices that record phone calls), and subpoenas. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows domestic operations by intelligence agencies, is also expanded. USAPA gives greater power to the FBI to check and monitor phone, Internet, and computer records without first needing to demonstrate that they were being used by a suspect or target of a court order. The act also allows enforcement agencies to monitor cable operators and obtain access to their records and systems and it expands the definition of terrorism and enables the government to monitor more closely those people suspected of harboring and giving material support to terrorists.
