The major provisions.
I have no problem with that
-- Authorization of "roving wiretaps," so that law enforcement officials can get court orders to wiretap any phone a suspected terrorist would use. Current law requires a court order for each phone number, which most say is outdated with the advent of cellular and disposable phones.
I have no problem with that
-- Allows the federal government to detain non-U.S. citizens suspected of terrorism for up to seven days without specific charges. The administration originally wanted to hold them indefinitely.
I have no problem with that
-- Allows law enforcement officials greater subpoena power for e-mail records of terrorist suspects.
I have no problem with that
-- Relaxes restrictions on information sharing between U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officers about suspected terrorists. -- Makes it illegal to knowingly harbor a terrorist.
I have no problem with that
-- Triples the number of Border Patrol, Customs Service Inspectors and Immigration and Naturalization Service inspectors at the northern border of the United States, and provides $100 million to improve technology and equipment on the U.S. border with Canada.
I hate record keeping provisions!
-- Expands current measures against money laundering by requiring additional record keeping and reports for certain transactions and requiring identification of account holders.
I have no problem with that
-- Eliminates the statute of limitations for prosecuting the most egregious terrorist acts, but maintains the statute of limitation on most crimes at five to eight years.
Legislation has a 2 year sunset provision built in.
