Section 2

13 of the Act permits "sneak and peek" searches. That means the government has the right to go into your home while you are away, copy your hard drive, files, gather and take any information or items they please without ever serving you a notice. They can then delay serving you notice for up to 90 days after the fact. These new warrants can be issued for "reasonable cause," instead of the more difficult to get "probable cause" of the fourth amendment.

Under this Act people that are not committing crimes are currently being held violating the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
