The war on terror that Willaim’s refers to is the war on mind, emotion, and fear. What was new about all of this was that we as a country were testing the limits of our constitution rights, our human rights. The events of 9.11 started the Patriot Act and our privacy was violated all in the name of the War on terror.

The Patriot Act attacks the bill of rights, the fourth and first amendments. The fourth amendment requires warrants for places to be searched and the patriot act violates that due to the illegal wiretapping, and surveillance. The first amendment because while every one was in fear and emotional people would say things and it would be taken as suspicious intent. The dangers of course which is what lead to anthrax and possible future bombings.

Same, because it did allow law enforcement organizations to search places with a delay notification of the person they are searching.
