These provisions are buried in Sections 401 and 402 of Division C in H.R. 1424, the Bailout bill.

The Bailout, or "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act," has a wild history. In just twelve days it morphed from . . .

* A three-page proposal by the Bush Administration
* To a 110-page amendment attached to an unrelated bill that was rejected by the House
* To a 422-page bill passed by Congress and signed into law.

The Library of Congress's summary of the bill is nearly 6,200 words, or 14 pages! (The final Public Print version of the bill, in smaller fonts, is 169 pages.)

In other words, the bailout bill went from bad to worse, in the space of just a few days, and the final price tag included not just $700 billion, and privacy rights as well.

Bailout bill contains buried provisions to invade privacy

the IRS can set up undercover operations to entrap unsuspecting taxpayers.

the IRS can release confidential tax returns to law enforcement and intelligence agencies upon request.
Before its October recess, Congress passed a bill giving the IRS these powers.
