In their latest bulletin, the ACLU writes:

The SAFE Act -- sponsored by Sens. Larry Craig (R-ID), Richard Durbin (D-IL), John Sununu (R-NH) and Russell Feingold (D-WI) -- had largely passed under the radar on Capitol Hill until the Department of Justice confirmed in a letter that the President’s senior advisors will urge its veto if it arrives on his desk.

Specifically, the SAFE Act would provide for individual suspicion of wrongdoing in Section 215, which allows broad federal access to business, library, medical and other personal records; would increase safeguards against the misuse of “sneak and peek” warrants, which permit an indefinite delay in notice to the person being searched, and would extend sunset clauses to several provisions, requiring their reexamination by Congress in 2005.
