If you mean to say 'the act broadened the definition of dozens of crimes to be called terrorist acts', then yes it has accomplished its objective. So now we can add 'patent infringement/trademark infringement' to the list of crimes now defined as terrorist acts. What do we add next? landscaping violations defined as environmental terrorism? Do we put the EPA under the homeland security umbrella?
