Today my topic is about The Patriot Act

It is an Act of the United states Congress

It was signed into law by US President George W Bush on October 26 2001

USA PATRIOT stands for Uniting (and) Strengthening America (by) Providing Appropriate Tools Required (to) Intercept (and) Obstruct Terrorism

The act was a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th amp 2001 anthrax attacks

It significantly reduced restrictions in law enforcement agencies gathering of intelligence within the United States

Expanded the Secretary of the treaSuryrsquoS authority to regulate financial transactions particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities

Roving wiretaps searches of business records (the library records provision)

Conducting surveillance of individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups

Federal courts have ruled that a number of provisions are unconstitutional

Key acts changed by Patriot Act were the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA) the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 and Bank Secrecy

Act (BSA) amp Immigration and Nationality Act

bag table computer TV and Cupboards were checked

In my office they confiscated my computer hard drive

Q3) What you did in return

Ans I was not able to do anything I could do nothing I

could only sit and watch i donrsquot even know their names

Patriot Act provisions extended just in time

President Obama signs after Congress passes the bill

Opposition to the government powers in the terrorist surveillance law brings together

conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats

President Obama approved a four-year extension of expiring provisions of the Patriot Act

Congress overcame mounting opposition from both parties to narrowly avoid a lapse in the

terrorist surveillance law

Provisions expired at midnight Thursday Eastern time

Administration had warned Congress that any interruption in the surveillance authority

would threaten national security

The Provisions in Patriot Act expires after every few years

The Provisions were again activated before expiring

This renewal is called PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011

It extends three key provisions

roving wiretaps searches of business records and conducting surveillance of individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups

roving wiretap which allows federal authorities to listen in on conversations of foreign suspects even when they change phones or locations

All of these government powers require an order from secret federal courts
