		Note: Uses the examples of TWA 847, the Achille Lauro, the Libyan raid, and the Iran-Contra scandal to show that the Reagan administration’s counter-terrorism policy was largely ineffective due to rhetoric, undelivered promises, and bad judgment.

		During the TWA 847 hijacking, American serviceman Robert Stethem was murdered and the remaining American male passengers taken hostage.
		The Patriot Act corrected this problem and the FISA appeals court upheld the constitutionality of that amendment, characterizing the rigid interpretation as "puzzling." The court cited an FBI agent's testimony that efforts to investigate two of the Sept. 11 hijackers were blocked by senior FBI officials, concerned about the FISA rule requiring separation.
		And the reasons the president might decide to bypass FISA courts are readily understandable, as it is easy to conjure up scenarios like the TWA hijacking, where strict adherence to FISA would jeopardize American lives.
