America's Security

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses that the purpose of the United States Patriot Act is; "To deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools and for other purposes." This opening statement of the Patriot Act provides evidence of the support of the act with stipulations why the act was created in the best interests of the American public and the security of the country. The paper quotes arguments in support of the act, that there is the ability of law enforcement personnel to take immediate action when there is the possibility of a terrorist threat to the country. This provision is considered important because the threat of terrorist activities often is not known until action to prevent activities is immediately required.
