DOJ domestic phone, email, Internet surveillance of Americans skyrocket under Obama

Phone numbers called and received, emails sent and received, and other Internet communications were all monitored by the federal government via “pen register” and “trap and trace devices” — systems that measure the data, not the content, about the communication.

Such techniques are different from wiretaps, which monitor the content of communications.

More people were subjected to federal government pen register and trap and trace surveillance of their phones in the past two years than in the previous decade.

DOJ surveillance of Internet communications, while rarer, increased 361 percent between 2009 and 2011.

Just curious..has Romney indicated that he plans to reign in this clear violation of our constitutional rights?

I guess this isn't a surprise to anyone I should have known
