Bipartisan Group of Senators Backs Phone Records Privacy Bill
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators, led by Florida's Bill Nelson has moved to outlaw the sale of telephone records without consumers' knowledge, a practice that worries privacy experts and law enforcement agencies. New legislation, introduced by Nelson and five other senators, would make it a crime to steal and sell records for cell phones, traditional landlines and Internet-based phones.
