Senator Wyden warns government needs only a credit card to buy millions of Americans' location data showing medical clinics and protests while needing a judge's order to wiretap a single phone

Senate Intelligence Committee Member Ron Wyden of Oregon says opposing the nomination of Joshua Rudd to be an Army General and Director of the National Security Agency that a comprehensive approach attaching surveillance reforms to the Section 702 reauthorization bill was the only effective way to address the problem rather than pushing one specific reform at a time, and he highlighted that both ICE and CBP purchased Americans' location data from data brokers without any warrant or court oversight revealing what medical clinics they visited, what protests they attended and who their friends and family were, contrasting this with the requirement that the FBI obtain a judge's approval to wiretap a single person's phone, arguing the government maintained it needed nothing but a credit card to buy the same location data about millions of Americans.
