Penentang termasuk penyokong kebebasan sivil dan Senator Rand Paul yang berhujah bahawa pengumpulan itu adalah tidak berperlembagaan kerana ia dilakukan tanpa waran.

@2HQ38JX3 tahun3Y
Only if there is another agency to oversee them and the process is transparent.

Yes, but all information must be keep private and information gathered should be extremely limited.
