• 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. Williams, the war on terror is different from traditional wars because this war is the war “of the mind.” She further explains with this type of war anyone who does something that is out of our ordinary and makes us feel fearful becomes the targeted enemy. This war is based off of one’s emotion opposed to against an actual person like in traditional wars.

• 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?

Well when it comes to the roving wiretap it violates our fourth amendment right. The right against unreasonable search and seizures. This seems to violate our 4th amendment because with wiretaps the government is listening in on phone conversations, text messages, emails, etc. While doing this the other person is warranted to unreasonable search. For example, the government is wiretapping Tommy who is a known terrorist, but Tommy is talking to Jack who is not a known terrorist and not on the warrant for the wiretap. Jack tells Tommy a whole host of personal information while the tapping is occuring. Jack’s 4th amendment has now been violated.
