House Passes Bill to Curb NSA Phone Records Collection
The House approved the USA Freedom Act by 303 to 120 to end bulk NSA collection of American phone data. The measure would allow targeted searches with judicial orders, dropping an independent public advocate and leaving record retention to carriers. The bill now goes to the Senate amid privacy groups railing it as weakened.
