Summary:
"A User's Guide to the USA PATRIOT Act and Beyond examines the
controversial USA PATRIOT Act, passed by Congress six weeks after the
horrific events of September 11, 2001. This new set of American laws
gives the federal government broad powers to conduct surveillance on
American citizens, in some cases without warrant and without judicial
oversight. The book summarizes other programs put into operation to
severely curtail the civil liberties of Americans, such as a second,
more intrusive PATRIOT Act, and proposed programs and laws that
attack privacy, probably cause, due process, and free speech."--BOOK
