Patriot Act

This article is about the law that was passed that is called Patriot Act. This Act gives the federal government the right to tap phone lines check e-mails and search homes on suspicion of acts of terrorism. Which means if the federal government has suspicion of terrorism. This also falls under the jurisdiction of home land security. This Act was passed was passed in haste following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Some people think that the government has the right to keep the country safe so they have to to give up a few things to make shore that their country is is safe. But some have a problem with that. Some say that it brake the Bill of Rights. And you never know if someone might say that the government will take advantage and start to just tab peoples phone called and and search peoples home.
