It is essential to the country’s efforts to combat terrorism.
Reason: The Patriot Act gave federal agencies expanded surveillance and information‑sharing powers (e.g., roving wiretaps, access to business records), which supporters say strengthened the U.S. ability to detect and disrupt terrorist plots. (It has been criticized, however, for reducing privacy and civil‑liberties protections.)
