any federal oversight and the public should actually have more access to the information about the stingray device including but it's a use for are there surveillance capabilities and who has access to the sensitive information that collects and despite the assurances to the contrary, it is not clear to me and others how the device doesn't collect data on innocent americans and so you announced the creation of a task force on the device and similar technology. i would like to know the status of the task force and why haven't we seen anything come out of it and what series of questions and what you're doing to address the concern about the lack of oversight over this device. >> the task force did look into the situations and what we found was as follows. our jurisdiction and authority is to certify the electronics of the components of such devices for interference questions and that if the application was being made in conjunction with law enforcement then we would approve it. this is for the technology that we would approve it and from that point on its usage was a matter of law enforcement
