Controversial “roving wiretap” language has been added to H.R.
3694, the Intelligence Authorization Act Conference Report, by a
joint House/Senate Conference Committee, behind closed doors and
with no hearings, to give the FBI and other U.S. police agencies
frightening new surveillance powers reminiscent of the Soviet
KGB.
Unfortunately, the House has rubber-stamped this
sneakily-amended legislation, and it only remains for the Senate to
consider the final bill. Unless concerned Americans speak out
immediately, this legislation is certain to pass into law.
