2010 - The USA PATRIOT Act Renewed -
with Updates for "Lone Wolves" and the NSL
with Updates for "Lone Wolves" and the NSL
Congressional Leaders Strike Deal to Extend
Patriot Act: Lawmakers in the House and the Senate have
reached an agreement that would
renew key provisions of the Patriot Act, though amendments are still possible.
One of the sections, known as the "lone wolf" provision, allows
terrorist investigations of non-citizens without having to show connections to
a terrorist organization. The Patriot Act expanded the
authority of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to monitor private
communications and access personal information. Among other things, the Patriot
Act amended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)
to allow the FBI to use National Security Letters for In place of
court-approved warrants. In 2010, 24,287 NSLs were issued,
up 64% from the previous year. For more Information, see EPIC: USA Patriot Act and EPIC: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
