What laws have changed or come to existence since 9/11 and the war on terror in the United States?

Question

This is not a debate-like subject or anything. I've just had very little luck with tuning up information about laws that have changed since 9/11 and the war or terror, new laws since then, and proposed laws made since then. I have school paper to write and I chose a this tough subject. I know general things but I need links and supporting information. If you have sources, know about any laws or have some kind of information on what has changed in the United States since 9/11 and the war on terror it would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The big change is that Americans have lost the right to privacy. In the name of War On Terror, the President has directed the National Security Agency to monitor Americans telephone calls without benefit of a warrent. In the old days, the Agency in question (NSA, FBI, Local police) would have to get a court order granting permission to tap your phone. Now they are doing it on there own say-so. So, when you talk on the phone, the Government is listening in and taking notes.

enable's see, our intelligence organizations were discussing very a lot the very undeniable actuality that al Qaeda has reconstituted itself in Pakistan and that that is even more desirable in a position than it became at the same time as it pulled off the terrorist attacks on 9-eleven-2001. The Taliban were resurgant in Afghanistan. Afghanistan and Pakistan are the authentic imperative fronts of international terrorism, yet we were distracted from concentrating on the authentic fronts through our defense force journey in Iraq. besides, the instability that we created in Iraq makes it plausible that the Iraq will in the destiny be yet another failed state the position terrorists would have secure passage. besides to, because of our close affiliation with Gen. Musharaff, those at cutting-edge ascending to skill in Pakistan are antagonistic to our requests to be aggressive adversarial to al Qaeda in Warzistan. sensible going Bush administration. the basically position the position terrorism looks waning slightly is in south and southeast asia. we were fortunate that there have not been attacks on our soil yet. yet many interior something else of the international can not say an same.

Answer 4

Tons of them! Since there was even a new law enforcement agencie put in place because of 9/11, many of the 'new' laws just look like old ones. However, the focus of the old laws have changed, so they have been added to and become 'new'. You can find more precise answers on crime library.com

Answer 5

Perhaps the single most important piece of legislation was the Patriot Act. Put this into a search engine, and you'll get LOADS of things. If you REALLY want to write a good paper, you can also reseach the court decisions with regard to decisions made holding some of its provisions unconsitutional, and the amendments made ot it.

Answer 6

Well in the banking industry a lot has changed a lot of rules and regulations... For example to prevent money lauandering between terrorists we enacted a regualtion called regualtion D which bush has enforced on us where customers can only do 6 transfers electronically online or whatever, after that they have to come into the branch and do it. The other one is if you are depostiting or withdrawling more than 10,000.00 we have to report it.

Sounds like fun, eh? Nice little invasion of our "freedom" and privacy. Oh, and this is coming soon too, getting a lot of funding and support since the pre-martial law has been set into place:

Answer 8

I know in Canada (sorry don't live in the US) our internet service provider Bell has been able to have a law passed where they can "spy" on your emails. If any kind of trigger word is in your email they will read it and keep a close watch on you. This is only for people who have emails with Bell Sympatico service though. I think this should be something world wide and also phone calls.

Answer 9

The biggest change is the patriot act, which severely restricts first and fourth amendment freedom. Most of the other changes are included in executive orders by the president.
