Senators: NSA's dope-fiend logic
could justify gun-sale snooping
Trawling of medical records, credit card transactions
also could be rationalized by classified interpretation
of laws which don't specifically authorize surveillance
"The fact that Patriot Act authorities were used for the bulk collection of email records as well as phone records underscores our concern that this authority could be used to collect other types of records in bulk as well, including information on credit card purchases, medical records, library records, firearm sales records, financial information and a range of other sensitive subjects," the two senators said.
"These other types of collection could clearly have a significant impact on Americans' constitutional rights."
