President George W. Bush signs the Patriot Act Anti-Terrorism Bill into law during a ceremony at the White House on October 26, 2001. The new anti-terror measures give police sweeping new powers to search people's homes and business records secretly and to eavesdrop on telephone and computer conversations. Surrounding Bush from left are Rep. Mike Oxley (R-OH), Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Sen Pat Leahy (D-VT), Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Rep. James Sensenbrenner, (R-WI).— REUTERS
