Citing “people familiar with the NSA’s operations,” it stated phone call metadata is also being collected from AT&T and Sprint, along with data from other ISPs and even credit card purchase info. Members of Congress have come out today stating that the program – an evolution of warrantless wiretapping that began after the Patriot Act was enacted – has been ongoing for several years and must be renewed every three months by Congress.
