| Description | Several controversial personal surveillance measures legalized by the terror-fighting USA Patriot Act would have their claws trimmed under a proposed bill just introduced by Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio, 10th) and Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul.
Kucinich's "Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act" would limit the Justice Department's power to use "sneak and peek" search warrants that let police delay their notification of suspects about the warrants. Justice's power to obtain business and library records under a foreign intelligence law also would be curtailed.
