1.P. Williams explains that war on terror is different from traditional wars. First, it targets non-state actors like terrorist groups rather than organized military forces. The tactics used are asymmetrical, focusing on guerrilla warfare and surprise attacks, which make conventional military strategies less effective. Additionally, the war on terror has a global scope, impacting multiple countries and requiring international cooperation. It also raises complex legal and ethical issues, particularly regarding human rights and the treatment of detainees. Finally, civilian populations often become involved in ways that blur the lines between combatants. These factors make the war on terror a unique and challenging conflict compared to traditional warfare.

2. The roving wiretaps provision of the Patriot Acts raises concerns about potential violations of the Bill of Rights. It seems infringe on the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and requires warrants based on probable cause, as it allows law enforcement to monitor multiple devices without specifying which one. This can lead to broad surveillance without sufficient justification. Furthermore, it may violate the First Amendment by chilling free speech and association, as people might hesitate to communicate freely knowing they could be watched. Lastly the Fifth Amendment, which guarantees due process, could be compromised if information gathered through these wiretaps is used against individuals without proper legal protections.

3. Sneak and peek warrants allow law enforcement to delay notifying property owners about searches. The key disadvantage of modern warrants compared to traditional ones is that the holder is not obliged to disclose the facts behind the warrant immediately, which concerns people’s privacy. I think this goes against transparency issues and may violate constitutional rights.
