“The ‘Anti-terrorism Information Sharing is Strength Act,’ HR 5606, would have amended the USA Patriot Act to allow financial institutions to share information with law enforcement agencies and one another regarding suspected ‘activities that may involve terrorist acts, money laundering activities, or a specified unlawful activity.’  Previously, such sharing was allowed regarding only ‘terrorist acts or money laundering activities.’  Libertarian Congressman Justin Amash (R-Mich.) led the opposition, saying the legislation expanded the Patriot Act to let the government ‘demand info on any American [without] due process.'”
