Which of the following actions by the US government are NOT permitted
or required by the US Patriot Act, signed into law on October 26,
2001?

A.
Search and seizure of information on live systems (including routers
and servers), backups, and archives

B.
Monitoring of Internet communications

C.
Reporting of cash and wire transfers of $5,000 or more

D.
Subpoena of electronic records

Explanation:
Wire and cash transfers of $10,000 or more in a single transaction
must be reported to government officials.
Actions in answers “Subpoena of electronic records”, “Monitoring of Internet communications”,
and c are permitted under the Patriot Act.
In answers “Subpoena of electronic records” and “Monitoring of Internet communications”, the
government has new powers to subpoena electronic records and to monitor Internet traffic. In
monitoring information, the government can require
the assistance of ISPs and network operators. This monitoring can
even extend into individual organizations. In the Patriot Act, Congress

permits investigators to gather information about electronic mail
without having to show probable cause that the person to be monitored
had committed a crime or was intending to commit a crime. In
answer c, the items cited now fall under existing search and seizure
laws. A new twist is delayed notification of a search warrant. Under
the Patriot Act, if it suspected that notification of a search warrant
would cause a suspect to flee, a search can be conducted before notification
of a search warrant is given.
In a related matter, the US and numerous other nations have
signed the Council of Europes Cybercrime Convention. In the
US, participation in the Convention has to be ratified by the Senate.
In essence, the Convention requires the signatory nations to spy on
their own residents, even if the action being monitored is illegal in
the country in which the monitoring is taking place.
