- The war on terror is different from traditional wars because it is not about fighting over land or resources. What makes it new is how it violates people’s privacy and rights. It is like a battle against anyone who makes us feel scared. It is more like the government versus anyone they think might cause fear or commit acts of terror.
- One warrant covers multiple devices (including emails, chats) used by a target person. It also allows wiretapping the device of individuals who sound and write similarly to the target person, violating the privacy of unrelated people. This violates the Fourth Amendment.
- “Sneak and Peak”warrant in the Patriot Act permits the government to conduct searches without immediately notifying the warrant. This violates the Fourth Amendment.
