A User's Guide to the USA PATRIOT Act and Beyond : University Press of America : 9780761830580 : 0761830588 : 23 Nov 2004 : 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.
