- 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?
What’s new about it and different from traditional wars, based on the reading from P. Williams, a war of terror is a war of mind, whereas the enemy reflects on anybody that makes us afraid, rather than a war of land, or other resources, that’s what makes it different. It focuses on the Ideology rather than the terror, our minds, thoughts and what we think that’s going to happen/ tale place it focuses on.
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?
Based on the reading and my understanding, The “Roving Wiretaps” of the Patriot Act seem to violate the Bill of Rights by leading to privacy violations of anyone, which can lead to innocent communications because of a person comes into casual contact with the suspect. The amendment(s) it seem to violate would be Forth Amendment’s protection, reasons why it helps to protect the rights of someone and to secure that person from any form of unreasonable searches that’s being displayed.
3) What about “Sneek and Peek” Warrants?
Based on the reading and my understanding, “Sneak and Peek” Warrants are known as delayed notice which allows FBI or any Law enforcements to conduct a home without notifying the target of the investigation/ that they searched or was there. This helps to gather any additional information needed without the suspect knowing or denying later on.
