May 26, 2011 Senate votes to extend Patriot Act's roving wiretaps, records search . By Michael Winter <http://content.usatoday.com/topics/reporter/Michael+Winter> , USA TODAY Facing a midnight deadline, the Senate has approved a four-year extension <http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2011-05-26-senate-patriot-act_n.htm ?csp=34news> of three controversial terrorism-fighting provisions. The vote was 72-23, the Associated Press reports. The measure goes to the House, which is expected to approve it quickly and send it to President Obama for his signature. One Patriot Act provision permits roving wiretaps and the other allows searches of business records in the pursuit of terrorist threats. The third provision lets the government watch non-American "lone wolf" suspects.
