1. P. Williams says the war on terror is different because it’s not a normal war between countries with soldiers and battlefields. It’s more confusing, there’s no clear enemy or country to fight. Terrorists can be anywhere, even within the U.S., and the war doesn’t really have an end.

2.Roving wiretaps let the government tap phones or devices without saying exactly which one. With these wiretaps, they can basically follow someone around and listen in without being very clear about what they’re doing. This is violating the first amendment.

3. These warrants let the government come into your house or place without telling you right away. They can search your stuff and only let you know later. That seems unfair and kind of shady. Most say the provision allows the use of “sneak and peek” warrants for even minor crimes, not just terror and espionage cases.
