Under current law, 'national security letters' can be issued to traditional financial institutions, such as banks and credit unions, to require them to turn over information.

The '''[http://www.fbi.gov/ Federal Bureau of Investigation]''', commonly referred to as the '''[[FBI]]''', "originated from a force of Special Agents created in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the Presidency of [[Theodore Roosevelt]]." [http://www.fbi.gov/libref/historic/history/historymain.htm See FBI History].
Major changes in how the FBI conducts its business came in 2001 when FBI Director was tasked "with a specific mandate to upgrade the Bureau's information technology [[infrastructure]], to address records management issues, and to enhance FBI foreign [[counterintelligence]] analysis and security in the wake of the damage done by former Special Agent and convicted spy [[Robert Hanssen]]", the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and, on October 26, 2001, the signing into law by President [[George W. Bush]] of [[Patriot Act I]], "which granted new provisions to address the threat of [[terrorism]]."[http://www.fbi.gov/libref/historic/history/changeman.htm]
