Answer
Brief Explanations:
The USA - PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001) was passed after 9/11. It expanded the government's surveillance powers, including the right to monitor private communications to combat terrorism. The "no - fly list" was not established by the Patriot Act. The act did not make it more difficult for police to conduct searches outside the US or limit the powers of law - enforcement officials outside the US.
