I thank all of our witnesses. Let me start by just underscoring the point of the Chairman and the Ranking Member as to the need for greater infrastructure investment here in America.

Our infrastructure, whether it is water infrastructure or transportation infrastructure, is not where it needs to be; it is hurting our economic growth, and it is certainly affecting quality of life.

It is about our freedom to travel, our right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure.

Privacy is a fundamental right that we must protect.

Whether your device is searched and whether you are held should not be the result of a whim by a particular officer.

Being from the State of Michigan, we have a lot of international border... it is a significant part.

We have heard stories from individuals who live in that 100-mile zone who report being stopped by officers, undergoing often humiliating experiences, really expressing consternation that they are Americans living in America and they are…

I am not opposed to having the FTC with some limited rulemaking authority in this space.

So CPNI across all technologies you would be supportive of?
