1. The war on terror differs from classic wars in several ways. A key distinction is the type of adversaries; instead of being fought between countries, this conflict targets non-state entities and terrorist groups. Additionally, the scope of this war extends beyond particular areas, covering numerous nations and regions. Moreover, terrorists employ unconventional methods, like suicide bombings and cyber-attacks, which diverge from the usual tactics seen in military confrontations.
2. The Patriot Act’s “Roving Wiretaps” appear to contravene the Bill of Rights, possibly also infringing on the Fourth Amendment, which safeguards against unwarranted searches and seizures. The broad wording of the Patriot Act could lead to the privacy infringements of innocent individuals not implicated in criminal behavior.
3. The “Sneak and Peek” warrants breach the Bill of Rights. These warrants also pose issues under the Fourth Amendment, as they permit searches without immediate alert, potentially violating the right to be secure in one’s home and belongings against unreasonable searches.
