Content: Easy Terrorist Identification. Since the Patriot Act, government agencies such as the FBI was given the green light to act and tap phones that are suspected to be used by terrorists and lone wolves without having to go under strict policies such as having to ask for individual requests. With the USA Patriot Act, the government came up with a streamlined surveillance system which made it easier for the authorities to intercept and send terrorists to justice. Moreover, there was a great improvement in the communications within agencies, making them capable of addressing problems and acting on issues related to terrorism. 3. Victim Support. One of the provisions of the Patriot Act is the opportunity for grandparents to apply for special immigrant status in order to take care of the children orphaned as a result of terrorism. These were the children whose parents were victims of the September 2001 attack of the World Trade Center which claimed innocent lives and affected the lives of survivors and their families. Without the Act, support and aid to the victims and their families might not be given that much attention or be organized. Moreover, business owners who had establishments in the vicinity of the WTC were given financial support to rebuild structures.
