On the recordMay 20, 2015
I would say to the Senator or ask the Senator, in this debate, I think you raised an important question, if I understand it correctly, which is, How much will the U.S. Government spy on U.S. citizens? And that, combined with the question you were asking to the changes to the PATRIOT Act and the accumulation of business records, is when that individual could be a U.S. citizen. For example, you and I could be somewhere--you could be an individual of interest to one of these Federal agencies, but just because I happen to have a cup of coffee with you, now all of a sudden all of my business records, all of my personal information could be under investigation by the U.S. Government, and I wouldn't even know about it; is that the Senator's understanding?
