1. Patricia Williams states in her essay that “A war against terrorism is a war of the mind”. She explained how a war on terror is different from traditional wars because war on terror is based on emotionalism rather than “a war against specific bodies, specific land, specific resources” which are the elements of a traditional war. The war on terror attacks peoples’ minds by making whoever becomes the enemy afraid.
2. I believe that the “Roving Wiretaps” seems to violate the Bill of Rights, the Fourth Amendment to be specific. I believe that the “roving Wiretaps” seems to violate the FOurth Amendment because this amendment is intended to protect citizens against “overzealous efforts by law enforcement to root out crime by ensuring that police have good reason before they intrude on people’s lives with criminal investigations.”
3. The “Sneak and Peek” Warrants are also a form of violation of the fourth amendment. In my opinion, the sneak and peek is a contradiction of this amendment because under the protection of this clause it states that “government officials are required to apply for and receive a search warrant prior to a search or seizure; this warrant is a legal document, signed by a judge, allowing police to search and/or seize persons or property”. In the case of the “Sneak and Peek”, I believe that is directly violating this right, because it allows investigators to search the houses of certain criminals without a search warrant, which is precisely what the Fourth Amendment is trying to protect.
