Q #1: it’s a modernized version of war as it manipulates people’s fears and emotions, the inter-workings of a human and ever so vulnerable. It doesn’t identify any particular enemy where our past wars have targeted a known enemy.

Q #2: A “roving wiretap” is a designated permanent allowed for lawn Forssman and it enables them to follow the surveillance target. Perhaps leads to the idea of it being a violation of the fourth amendment which is the right to privacy.

Q #3: A “sneak peek “is a search warrant that permits authorization to law-enforcement for them to access someone’s private premises without their permission or knowledge, seemingly another violation of the fourth amendment.

1- According to Williams, the Conflict on Terror constituted a new type of war because of the tremendous powers bestowed on the federal government’s capacity to prosecute the war. This prompted the Patriot Act, which granted intelligence and law enforcement agencies the authority to violate the constitution and conduct domestic surveillance.

2- The Patriot Act’s “Roving Wiretaps,” which allow for the search of innocent individuals without a warrant, appear to be a breach of the Bill of Rights. This is a violation of the fourth amendment since a court order must be obtained via a court of law.

3- The “Sneak and Peek” warrant, which also violates the Fourth Amendment by allowing authorities to search a person’s home or location without their consent or any reasonable warning of what is about to happen, maybe challenged in the same way.

1. P. Williams writes in her essay, that the war on terror is a new type of a war. What’s new about it, how is it different from traditional wars?

P. Williams considered the war on terror to be a new type of war because America didn’t necessarily have any enemies they were battling against, it was just the fear of the unknown, anyone could possibly be a terrorist. The fear of knowing anyone could be plotting to cause damage to the country is completely different from a traditional war. Traditional wars are usually going against a specific opponent or target that addresses confrontation on battlefield with weapons.

1. In what ways does the “Roving Wiretaps” of the Patriot Act seem to violate the Bill of Rights? Which amendment(s) does it seem to violate and why?

The “Roving Wiretaps” violates the fourth amendment since individual’s privacy are being compromised. An individual has the right for their privacy to be protected and implementing the tactic of “roving wiring taps” is very invasive.

1. What about “Sneek and Peek” Warrants?

Citizens have their right to protection thus being that The fourth and fifth amendment protects the right to private property First, it states that a person may not be deprived of property by the government. The act of sneaking into an individuals home is violating that right under any circumstances.

It’s a new type of war because it plays with people’s fears and emotions. It creates fears in ourselves that was never there. Giving no specific enemies where as traditional wars we have a specific target or enemy.

A “roving wiretap” is a special permit given to law enforcement that allows them to follow the surveillance target. It seem to be a violation of the 4^th Amendment, the right to privacy.

A “sneak peek” is a search warrant that give authorization to law enforcement to enter someone’s private premises without their permission or knowledge, again a violation of the 4^Th amendment.

1. P. William writes that the war on terror is a new type of war that targets people’s minds and emotions. It is a system designed by the justice department to play with people’s minds; in other words, when we hear war on terrorism, it triggers some fear in our minds.
2. The Patriot Act’s “Roving Wiretaps” violates the fourth amendment (bill of rights). It permits the unlawful monitoring and surveillance of a targeted individual by wiretapping the devices they use. It can sometimes get to the point where the targeted person’s property may be confiscated
3. Sneak and Peak are where the FBI gets to search people’s homes and businesses without notifying them about whatever investigation that’s going on. I believe this is a violation of the target’s fourth amendment rights. People have the right to feel secure in their homes. The Peak and Sneak does not allow authorities to give the target a notice; they show up and conduct their search, which is not the right thing to do

1.P. William says, “the war has been framed as one against “terror”- against unruly if deadly emotionalism […] the enemy becomes anybody who makes us afraid”. It is an attack against our emotions, which creates fear within. Where traditional war or combat is the specific targeting or planned.

2.The Roving Wiretaps violates the Fourth Amendment, since it is supposed to protect the seizure of private property or individual. It also targets and violates the privacy of those who may not be involved directly with the person being investigated.  

3.The same can be said for the “Sneak and Peek” warrant, as it also violates the Fourth Amendment, by allowing authorities to search a home or location without the individuals consent or any fair warning of what is coming.  

1. P. Williams writes in her essay, that the war on terror is a new type of a war. What’s new about it, how is it different from traditional wars?

According to P. William the war on terror is new type which targets our mind and emotion. It is a form of social panic in which the enemy becomes the persons who plants fair full on us. Contrarily to the traditional war which have specific target as it mentioned in the reading, “the war has been framed as one against “terror” – against unruly if deadly emotionalism – rather than as a war against specific bodies, specific land, specific resources.”   

2. In what ways does the “Roving Wiretaps” of the Patriot Act seem to violate the Bill of Rights? Which amendment(s) does it seem to violate and why?

The Roving Wiretaps of the Patriot Act violate the bill of right because it stands for authorizing surveillance for the targets by wiretapping the devices that they use even if the person targeted discovered the investigation act and he or she switched the device. The investigation will be continued even if the police or the FBI did not have the warrant to do so. This is considered violation for the fourth amendment which requires for investigators to having the warrants in order to access people’s privacy other ways it will be a violation for the bill of rights.    

3. What about “Sneek and Peek” Warrants?

     Sneek and Peek warrant is a provision that permit investigators to search in people’s home or business without having a not that allows the investigation. I think this is a violation of the fourth amendment which indicate that government official must be afforded by the warrant to have permission to search or seizure a house or business.

1. The war on terror, according to P.william, is a new sort of war since civil tactics are used that are regarded unconstitutional when following a terrorist, such as robbing them of basic rights.The difference between traditional war and war on terror is that traditional war seems to be more secretive in terrorist activity, which is why we conduct such secret surveillance, whereas terror war is designed to kill innocent people in order to affect others.

2. The Patriot Act’s “Roving Wiretaps” appear to violate the Bill of Rights by allowing innocent individuals to be searched without a warrant. This violates the fourth amendment since a court order must be obtained from a court of law.

3. The “Sneek and Peek” warrants are a violation because if they were suspected of a crime, they still require a warrant to search someone’s home, and this law allows them to enter someone’s home without their agreement, trespassing on their privacy, and the risk of making a mistake is massive.

1. P. Williams writes in her essay, that the war on terror is a new type of a war. What’s new about it, how is it different from traditional wars?

The war on terror is the war in mind, which means there’s no specific enemy in the war, only fear and panic about the possibilities of  surrounding people becoming terrorists. The difference between war on terror and traditional war is that the traditional war has a specific enemy or target, people know who’s the target that they should be against.

2. In what ways does the “Roving Wiretaps” of the Patriot Act seem to violate the Bill of Rights? Which amendment(s) does it seem to violate and why?

It violated the Fourth Amendments of the US Constitution, because the Roving Wiretaps are violating the individual’s right to protect their privacy.

3. What about “Sneak and Peek” Warrants?

While people have the right to remain silent or the protection of one’s property, the action of sneaking into an individual’s house is considered violating the US Constitution.
