Williams describes the war on terror as a new kind of war because it\u2019s not fought between countries with regular armies. Instead, it\u2019s a fight against terrorist groups that don\u2019t represent any nation. This type of war has no official beginning or end, and the enemy can be anywhere, even inside the U.S. It\u2019s more about intelligence, security, and surveillance than about soldiers fighting on a battlefield.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cRoving Wiretaps\u201d and the Bill of Rights<br>The \u201cRoving Wiretaps\u201d in the Patriot Act allow the government to monitor a person\u2019s phone calls or messages without naming a specific phone or computer. This seems to go against the Fourth Amendment, which protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Fourth Amendment requires that warrants be specific, but roving wiretaps are very broad and can invade people\u2019s privacy without enough clear proof or limits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cSneak and Peek\u201d Warrants<br>\u201cSneak and Peek\u201d warrants let law enforcement enter someone\u2019s home or property, search it, and delay telling the person about it. Normally, people are told right away when a search happens, but this type of warrant keeps it secret for a while. This also seems to violate the Fourth Amendment, because people have the right to know when and why their property is searched. Not knowing takes away their chance to challenge it or protect their rights in time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10899,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"portfolio_post_id":0,"portfolio_citation":"","portfolio_annotation":"","openlab_post_visibility":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-discussion-board-9-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10899"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11791,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11790\/revisions\/11791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/pol-100-0502-fall-2025-introduction-to-american-government\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
