House passes anti-terrorism bill with expiration clause
The House approved expanded police powers to pursue suspected terrorists and set a five year expiration on the most controversial authority. The vote sent the bill to the Senate where the expiration was not included in their version, which also adds money laundering provisions. Senate and House differ on federalizing airport screeners and civil liberties concerns linger as a conference is possible.
