USA Patriot Act

Read a random definition: Easter sittings

A quick definition of USA Patriot Act:

The USA PATRIOT Act is a law that was made after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It gives the police and other government agencies more power to collect information about people they think might be terrorists. They can share this information with other agencies in the United States and other countries. The law also makes it harder for people to come into the country illegally and gives the government more power to investigate banks that might be helping terrorists. The law's full name is Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism, but people usually just call it the Patriot Act.

A more thorough explanation:

The USA PATRIOT Act is a law that was passed after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It gives law enforcement agencies more power to collect information on suspected terrorists, share that information with other agencies, and make the country's borders more secure. The law also allows for the detention of suspects on new types of criminal charges and gives the Treasury Department more authority to investigate financial institutions that participate in foreign money-laundering.

For example, if the FBI suspects that someone is planning a terrorist attack, they can use the USA PATRIOT Act to collect more information about that person's activities and share that information with other agencies. This can help prevent future attacks and keep the country safe.
