To wire money, just submit instructions to your bank. Youâll need to provide information about the recipientâs bank account, and you often have to use a special form provided by your bank (some banks let you do all of this online, while others require a signed form). For more details, see How to do a Bank Wire.
The Patriot Act consists of a large number of provisions that enhance security at the expense of privacy and due process, many (but not all) of which are troubling from the standpoint of civil liberties. These provisions are no longer as necessary as they were in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
The original Patriot Act was passed into law on October 24, 2001 by the Congress of the United States, just 45 days after the September 11 attacks, with few Congressman even reading it and virtually no debate.
