### - just thought i'd have a little peek 'behind' the scenes to see what, if anything, has been going-on under all this distracting so-called... news?
but only found this: :)
Dangerous New Bill Would Expand the Patriot Act
September 25, 2018 by Rights & Dissent
The House of Representatives will consider a dangerous bill under suspension of
the rules (a procedure to quickly pass supposedly non-controversial bills) on Wednesday. Known as the Empowering Financial Institutions to Fight Human Trafficking Act of 2018
(HR6729), the bill would expand Patriot Act surveillance and increase Suspicious Activity Reporting.

HR 6729 would create a new structure for non-profits to report ‘suspicious’
activity related to human trafficking to banks and other financial institutions, but clears them of any liability for reporting information they know to be false or even
purposefully malicious, or motivated by racial, ethnic, religious animus, or for personal, political, or financial gain. The process would increase the number of Suspicious Activity Reports filed by banks (already over a million each year), and the bill
does not include any process for individuals (who may have been wrongly accused) to defend themselves or appeal. Always risk averse, banks would be inclined to close accounts and refuse to do business with anyone or any organization reported to them as
suspicious.
The bill also gives the Treasury Department authority to create new regulations
on information sharing that could expand warrantless surveillance under Section
314 of the Patriot Act (something Treasury has tried to do repeatedly). The information
sharing would not be limited to human trafficking, but any suspected unlawful activities.
