Statutes defining criminal offenses connected to state security, espionage or public order, or expanding government investigative and enforcement power in their name. Belongs here: the Espionage Act of 1917, criminalizing interference with military recruitment and the disclosure of national-defense information; and the USA PATRIOT Act, expanding United States surveillance and law-enforcement authority after the September 11 attacks. Does not belong here: a statute whose primary subject is ordinary civil or economic regulation rather than security or criminal enforcement, grouped by its own subject instead.
