Beyond the Patriot Act: The Second Wave of Antiterrorism Policy in the United States This article discusses the "second wave" of anti-terrorism initiatives in the United States - those attempted by the current U.S. administration beyond the well-known "Patriot Act." After reviewing a number of those initiatives, including Total Information Awareness, the Matrix Program, the air security CAPPS II program and others, the article discusses the impact of American anti-terrorism initiatives on the academic and nonprofit sectors in the United States, and the broad liberal-conservative coalition that has emerged, in different moments, to challenge both "second wave" initiatives and the renewal of the Patriot Act. That coalition has emerged victorious on halting or limiting the effects of a number of anti-terrorism initiatives, while proving less successful with respect to the Patriot Act.
