In part 1, we explored the unending Patriot Act that has severely curtailed civil liberties, solidified key aspects of mass surveillance and the right to privacy, contributed to the militarization of police and laid the groundwork for tighter command and control of the populace throughout American society.

We also saw how the Patriot Act was rushed through both Houses of the United States government without debate in the confusion and panic that followed the September 11th attacks.

While planes crashing into the Twin Towers and the complete collapse of both buildings have been burned into our memories of the events, another separate terrorist attack acted as the catalyst to pass the Patriot Act unobstructed - The Anthrax Attack (Amerithrax).

The Anthrax Attacks of 2001

In case blame for future terrorist attacks wasn't a powerful enough motivator, another act of terrorism quickly emerged in the weeks following 9/11. These attacks were directed at prominent voices in the Democratic party and members of the media.

During the panic and frenzy that followed the September 11th attacks two Senate Democrats, Patrick Leahy and Tom Daschle, who openly intended to scrutinize the Patriot Act legislation, received suspicious packages through the US postal service containing a white powder, later identified as anthrax a lethal biological weapon. Similar packages were sent to Tom Brokaw, the NBC news anchor, and to the editors of the New York Post and National Enquirer publications.

As a result of this act of bioterrorism, 5 people died, including several postal workers, and seventeen other innocent people were either sickened or hospitalized. Another ten thousand individuals deemed to be "at risk" of exposure underwent antibiotic prophylaxis.

The USA PATRIOT Act
https://www.bartleby.com/essay/The-Patriot-Act-a-Summary-PKCR3WFJVJ

One of the most controversial policies to pass legislation within the United States congress with the approval of our president at the time, George W. Bush, was the USA PATRIOT Act. The USA PATRIOT Act is actually a acronym for the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act.

This Act reduced the restrictions, which now allowed the law the power to search various electronic communications records as well as medical and financial records. It also enabled fewer restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering, broadened the immigration enforcement laws to allow them to more easily detain and deport immigrants suspected of involvement with…show more content…

The act also gained support within congress due to the tension caused by the anthrax scare on October 15, 2001. The sense that the public was not only being attacked but also the Senators themselves, through the anthrax contaminated letters, created and urgency in the want to pass the act.

Anthrax panic spreads as top US senator is targeted
Bush links senate bioterror attack to Bin Laden

A letter containing anthrax was sent to the offices of the US senate majority leader, Tom Daschle, president Bush said yesterday, adding to the panic that has swept America over the possibility of a massive bioterrorist attack.

Speaking outside the White House, Mr Bush said that the anthrax scare, which has killed one man and has infected one woman, may be linked to Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida network.
