collection? >> i am concerned about the fact that the government will not state really what the rules are with respect to tracking americans on their cell phones. i have asked this repeatedly at public hearings and the intelligence committee. the government official position is first they have the authority to do it. they said they are not doing it now but they will not spell out the rules today with respect to the rights of americans with respect to cell phone tracking.

computer in your pocket increases the potential that certainly people could be tracked 24/7. when the fbi director says in public forums when we have asked and asked repeatedly what are the right of law-abiding americans with respect to cell phone tracking, you cannot get

on the floor eight weeks ago. you would not have had 200 votes for fundamental changes. this debate is definitely going to continue. the bipartisan approach that i and senator udall have been part of when the democrats and republicans trying to revise section 215 to ensure that when you try to spy on a person you have got to have some avid and that they are suspected of terrorism. that is the bottom line. to do otherwise, to have a dragnet surveillance where you vacuum up everyone of the phone records, who people call, when they called, where they called from, it will become increasingly unpopular.

i think that is what you saw on the floor of the house of representatives. i think it is especially important to note there would not even have been a big debate on the floor eight weeks ago.
