The events of September 11 have led to a rush in the offices of lawmakers worldwide. Under public and media pressure a range of anti-terrorism proposals were quickly prepared by the US and most European countries. While some of them are still being discussed others have already been signed into law. Yet the content is quite much the same in all of them. Main measures include regulations on extradition, funding (of terrorist groups) and money laundering as well as asylum and ID cards. Also proposed are new surveillance and communication interception powers for law enforcement agencies and intelligence.
