Signed into law in 2001, the USA PATRIOT Act (an acronym for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001) is meant to broaden the tools within government and law enforcement with the goal of further tightening national security to thwart terrorism.
