Question 3

Briefly discuss the USA PATRIOT Act with regard to September 11,2001.
The events of September 11,2001,have a major impact on privacy within the United States and on the employment environment in particular.The federal government has implemented widespread modifications to its patchwork structure of privacy protections since the terror attacks of September 11,2001.In particular,proposals for the expansion of surveillance and information gathering authority were submitted and,to the chagrin of some civil rights attorneys and advocates,many were enacted.
The most public and publicized of these modifications was the adoption and implementation of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT)Act of 2001.The USA PATRIOT Act expanded states' rights with regard to Internet surveillance technology,including workplace surveillance,and amended the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.The act also grants access to sensitive data with only a court order rather than a judicial warrant and imposes or enhances civil and criminal penalties for knowingly or intentionally aiding terrorists.In addition,the new disclosure regime increased the sharing of personal information between government agencies in order to ensure the greatest level of protection.
