US Must End Mass Surveillance Under Patriot Act - Civil Groups

By June 2015, a number of Patriot Act sections will expire, including the provision that authorized the US National Security Agency (NSA) to carry out bulk collection of US citizens' telephone records.

“There must be a clear, strong, and effective end to bulk collection practices under the USA Patriot Act, Including under the Section 215 records authority and the Section 214 authority regarding pen registers and trap and trace devices,” the letter, published on the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) website, said.
