Revisiting the Patriot Act
PC Word reports, "It has been nearly two years since the Patriot Act's swift adoption in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. But whether the law is the boon to law enforcement claimed by its supporters or the menace to civil liberties feared by its foes remains unclear...Critics such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) charge that the law is too invasive and violates Constitutional guarantees against unreasonable search and seizure....Patriot Act supporters say that the only people who need to fear being investigated under provisions of the Act are terrorists and their supporters."
