The States & Antiterrorism Dialogue & Resistance

Mark Sidel, January 2004

Summary

In the early days after September 11, a number of states moved quickly to enact various forms of strengthened antiterrorism legislation—some expanding the definition of terrorism in state law and strengthening punishments, others adopting new measures on emergencies and public health, and some engaging in vigorous debate about providing law enforcement with new wiretapping and surveillance tools. These moves did not occur in an empty playing ‹eld, for a number of states had already begun addressing terrorism-related issues in the 1990s.
