1.The War on Terror, as described by P. Williams, is considered a new type of warfare due to several key differences from traditional wars:

1. Asymmetry: It involves non-state actors like terrorist groups who operate across borders and don’t follow conventional rules of engagement.
2. Global Reach: Unlike traditional wars confined to specific locations, it spans multiple countries, necessitating international cooperation.
3. Ideological Conflict: It’s not just about territory but also about clashing ideologies, such as extremist beliefs versus democratic values.
4. Non-Traditional Tactics: Terrorist groups use tactics like suicide bombings and cyber warfare, posing challenges for traditional military strategies.
5. Long-Term Nature: Unlike wars with clear start and end points, the War on Terror is ongoing and indefinite, requiring constant adaptation to evolving threats. These factors distinguish the War on Terror as a new and complex form of warfare.

2.The “Roving Wiretaps” provision of the Patriot Act raises concerns about violating the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. It allows authorities to wiretap any device used by a target without specifying the device or location, potentially leading to overreach and lack of judicial oversight, thus infringing on privacy rights.

3.”Sneak and Peek” warrants, authorized under the USA PATRIOT Act, allow law enforcement to enter a person’s property without notifying them immediately. This raises concerns regarding potential violations of the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Critics argue that such warrants undermine privacy rights and due process, as they allow for secret searches without the target’s knowledge.

1. The war on terror is different than traditional wars because it isn’t being fought based on resources, land or anything else that a traditional war is usually fought over but instead it seems to be a war on fighting terrorism at the expense of citizens privacy. Measures used in this war differ because mass surveillance was used even on American citizens.
2. Roving Wiretaps infringes on the 4th amendment right which is your rights to privacy where wiretaps were used to spy on people with out consent.
3. Sneak and peek warrants also infringe the 4th amendment right which allowed for law enforcement to search peoples without their knowledge and without getting a warrant to search a suspect. It allows for law enforcement to misuse sneak and peek warrants and violate peoples privacy.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. “Sneak and Peak”warrant in the Patriot Act permits the government to conduct searches without immediately notifying the warrant. This violates the Fourth Amendment.

The War on Terror involves fighting against non-state actors, which is different from traditional wars. It blurs the lines between war and law enforcement and raises ethical and legal questions regarding national security and civil liberties.

The Patriot Act authorizes roving wiretaps, which allow for indiscriminate surveillance without specifying the target. This has raised concerns about violating the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures and infringing on privacy rights.

Sneak and peek warrants are another practice that allows law enforcement to conduct secret searches without immediately notifying the target. This undermines transparency and accountability, raising concerns about violating the Fourth Amendment’s protections and due process rights.

1) The war on terror represents a unique conflict, ostensibly aimed at combating terrorism, yet it has encroached upon the privacy and rights of both citizens and non-citizens. Heightened surveillance measures have led to widespread monitoring and searches without consent.

2) Roving Wiretaps infringe upon the protections outlined in the Bill of Rights, as individuals are subjected to surveillance without their consent. Court orders allow for monitoring across multiple devices, expanding the scope beyond what is constitutionally permissible. Furthermore, mere association with a suspect can lead to being targeted. The Fourth Amendment, safeguarding against unreasonable searches without a warrant, is directly violated.

3) Sneak and peak warrants similarly contravene the Fourth Amendment by permitting searches of individuals’ homes without their knowledge or consent while they are absent. Notice of the search is only provided after the fact, undermining the fundamental principles of the Fourth Amendment.

1. P. Williams states that by framing the enemy of war as “terror” it is a war “against unruly if deadly emotionalism – rather than as a war against specific bodies, specific land, specific resources.” The difference is that there is no specific target in this war, it’s not really one side vs the other it is the US government vs whoever they think may possibly be perpetuating a feeling of “terror” or terror acts.
2. The roving wiretaps can violate the fourth amendment by tapping people who may not necessarily be involved in any crimes without their consent.
3. “Sneak and peak” warrants may be in violation of the unlawful search and seizure part of the fourth amendment. By allowing police and/or government officials to enter and remove things from a property that may be suspected to be involved in possible criminal activity, it opens the door for misuse and puts people at risk of having their privacy invaded and things taken from them with no probably cause.

1. What’s different about the war on terror is war of the ,ind , whoever puts fear into people hearts is their enemy. It is unbiased unlike traditional wars when it is directly against another opponent .
2. The roving wiretaps of the patriot act violates the bill of rights . The amendments it violates is the 3rd 4th and 5th. For example the 4th amendment is freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. The roving wiretaps has surveillance of the suspect without permission ,invading personal privacy.
3. Sneak and peak warrant is a search warrant allowing the law enforcement officers physical entry in private areas without owner’s permission.

1. 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?

• Informed by P. Williams in “This Dangerous Patriot’s Game”, the war on terror is a new type of war because it is a war against the mind. The war on terror can translate to a war on anyone who makes us feel afraid. The war on terror is different from traditional wars because this war has no specificity, it is not a war on land, idols or resources, but a war being guided on fear, which is varying from person to person.

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?

• Roving Wiretaps seem to violate the Bill of Rights because it can allow investigators to potentially obtain information from innocent parties that might have only casually met the suspect. This seems to violate Amendment IV,“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” because it can lead to privacy violations of parties who have come in contact with the accused.

3. What about “Sneak and Peek” Warrants?

• Sneak and Peek Warrants could potentially violate the Bill of Rights because it allows investigators to search a suspect’s premises without immediately notifying the suspect. This could potentially violate Amendment IV for the same reasoning in question two but also possibly Amendment IX due to the fact that it could breach common-law and/or the natural rights of an innocent individual.

1. The war on terror is a new kind of war because it is war supposed to be a war against terrorism but instead it ended up violating the privacy and right of citizens and non citizens alike. The government was at a heightened state of surveillance and people started being spied on and searched without their permission. 
2. The Roving Wiretaps violates the Bill of Rights because suspects were spied on without their permission. One court order callowed the surveillance o various devices not just one. A person could also become a suspect if they have contact wit the inital suspect. The Amendment that the Roving Wiretaps violates is the fourth amendment because the fourth amendment protects citizens against unreasonable searches without a warrant. 
3. Sneak and peak warrants also violate the fourth amendment because an individual’s home is searched without their consent while they aren’t there and the receive notice after the search. This violates the fourth amendment in all its ways.
