Product Description
Written by UI Associate Professor of Law and UICHR Executive Board member Mark Sidel, this book is the first comprehensive analysis of U.S. antiterror initiatives implemented after the 2001 terrorist attacks. It goes beyond coverage of the Patriot Act, analyzing Total Information Awareness, the Terrorist Information and Prevention System (TIPS), the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System II (CAPPS II), and a number of other "second wave" antiterror initiatives. Sidel takes readers behind the headlines to reveal how key provisions of controversial antiterror policies have been buried in state legislation, and how the military has taken over key police functions. More Secure, Less Free? also investigates aspects of American antiterrorism policy largely ignored in other books, including its effects on the American academic world and the nonprofit sector. Additionally, it provides the first international comparisons of antiterrorism policy yet published in an American volume, contrasting security initiatives in Great Britain, Australia, and India with the American experience.

Essential read for Americans that care about our freedom! November 14, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I highly recommend this book for any American that cares about our civil liberties. Mark Sidel does an excellent job examining the potential effects of anti-terror policies, including initiatives hidden in state legislations. He also investigates how anti-terror policies in the U.S. compare with anti-terror polices in other countries like the U.K., Australia and India. Americans that care about the freedoms that we hold dear should definitely buy and read this book. It will really inform you and make you think.
