Summary:

Discusses history of constitutional interpretations and legislative responses relevant to the collection of private information for criminal investigation, foreign intelligence gathering, and national security purposes. Summarizes relevant statutory frameworks and changes made by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act and subsequent measures. Examines Congressional oversight, judicial review, and "minimization procedures" designed to limit the extent of Government intrusions where possible.
