"Sneak and peak"[edit]

are "sneak and peak searches" really spelled that way, or are they "sneak and peek searches"? I've seen it spelled the first way so many times... is it a sort of John Dean - Howard Dean - John Kerry sort of thing? Even CNN says John Dean sometimes... so does my AP Gov't teacher... ugen64 02:31, Feb 5, 2004 (UTC)

"Sneak and peek" is the correct spelling. Was the spelling wrong in the bill, or was it spelled wrong just in this article? Fuzheado 02:39, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
it is "peek" in the text of the bill, as per the link at the bottom of the page. --1pezguy 02:19, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)

What does "looks to review" mean? RickK 03:12, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)

In the bill's text, it's "sneak and peak". "Looks to review" means that it will review the other PATRIOT Act, should it be signed into law (as in John Kerry "looks to defeat" Bush if he is nominated by the Democrats). ugen64 23:21, Feb 7, 2004 (UTC)

"Conservative"[edit]

I removed the adjective conservative because the context was disparaging to conservatism. The USA Patriot Act is not conservative in any of the forms described on the political conservatism page that was linked to. Perhaps totalitarian, authoritarian, or statist would work better in context.--mcornelius 23:20, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

"Perhaps totalitarian, authoritarian, or statist would work better in context."

Ouch.

Is this bill dead by now? It was presented over a year ago - the session's over. Or was it reintroduced?--Fermatprime 19:04, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

When will this be voted upon?[edit]

Anyone know? --Rebroad 16:51, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If you're referring to the VFD, see above. Mateo SA | talk 02:53, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)

Out of interest...[edit]

... given that the FISC of Review has stated that foregin intelligence organisations can, in fact, become involved in criminal investigations if necessary, what would repealing section 218 do? - Ta bu shi da yu 14:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this page[edit]

THis page should be deleted. We can't have a wikipedia page for every piece of failed legislation. Simsong (talk) 05:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
