Answer:
The USA PATRIOT Act, signed by President George W. Bush in 2001, grants roving authority to the FBI and other law enforcement agents to serve orders on communications carriers, also grants total authority to the FBI to arrest any noncitizen who is under suspicion of using communication lines to plan a terrorist attack, and grants total authority to the FBI for wiretapping the communication lines of any U.S. citizen.
Explanation:
The USA PATRIOT Act is a federal law of the United States. It was approved by an overwhelming majority by both the House of Representatives and the US Senate and then promulgated by the President of the United States George W. Bush on October 26, 2001, after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The purpose of the law is to provide more opportunities for the US government to gather information about and act in the event of possible terrorism. It is a direct response to the September 11, 2001 attacks and is a tool in the American fight against terrorism. In addition, the law has the function of strengthening the American position on the world stage. Among other things, the law gives permission for eavesdropping on the governments of other countries.
The law reinforces the power of US police and espionage bodies, such as CIA, FBI and NSA, with the aim of reducing the risk of terrorist attacks in the United States, thus affecting the privacy of citizens.
