- P. Williams states that the war on Terror is a war of the mind rather then a war on specific bodies, land or resources. This is the first of its kind and because the war on Terror is a war on the mind it makes the enemy anybody who makes us afraid. Wars in the past have been very straight forward on who was the enemy. Country A is fighting country B and they eliminate each others armies. With a war on terrorism the enemy is never fully known.
- The Roving wiretaps of the Patriot Act seem to violate the Bill of Rights by invading individuals privacy. People fear that act could lead to privacy violations of anyone who comes into casual contact with a suspect. It seems to violate the Fourth amendment because the Fourth amendment protects individuals from unreasonable search and seizures.
- Sneek and Peak Warrants seem to violate the Bill of Rights because the Bill of Rights states that notice is required before a search. Now with Sneek and Peak warrants no notice beforehand is required. This also seems to violates the Fourth Amendment because the amendment states people have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
