Sen. Rand Paul sounds alarm over proposed “sweeping surveillance powers” in response to drone threats

Biden Admin trying to use the “drone” situation to pass a bill giving government wireless surveillance access to our phones “The bill before us would grant law enforcement significant authority to intercept private electronic communications without consent — To grant sweeping surveillance powers”

“The bill would allow the government to conduct dragnet surveillance of the phones, innocent Americans traveling through US airports as long as the government claims they’re doing it to neutralize a drone. So in order to look at the information that might be coming to a drone, it may be that you capture all the information of everybody surrounding an airport or everybody who lives near an airport. Once you have all that data, what are the assurances that the government isn’t looking at your data in addition to the data that may be related to flying a drone?”

“This is not just about security. It’s about unchecked government overreach. It’s about capitalizing on fear and media driven austerity to jam through sweeping legislation that could violate the civil liberties of American people.”
