Well at least they are paying lip-service to protecting our privacy.
In a heated confrontation over domestic spying, members of Congress
said Wednesday they never intended to allow the National Security Agency
to build a database of every phone call in America. And they threatened
to curtail the government's surveillance authority.
Top Obama
administration officials countered that the once-secret program was
legal and necessary to keep America safe. And they left open the
possibility that they could build similar databases of people's credit
card transactions, hotel records and Internet searches.
So they are trying to build other databases for credit card transactions, hotel records, and Internet searches as well? I guess a GPS location database lifted from your phone will be next. At least the Congress is looking at this stuff instead of being distracted and pretending like this isn't going on.
