Keeping Nebraska Safe From Terrorists (and the Fourth Amendment)

The PATRIOT Act's "sneak and peek" provision, which is a cute way of saying "federal law enforcement can search your house without telling you," was not used even once through April 2003 in such terrorist targets as Manhattan, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, according to a New York Sun investigation last week. The report, which required a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, showed that sneaking and peaking was most popular in such places as Eastern Virginia, northeastern California, and Nebraska.
