States To NSA: Get A warrant

Lawmakers push back against federal agency's spy program

The National Security Agency may be able to spy on citizens by collecting data about their telephone calls and Internet usage, but at least two states are developing a strategy that would leave the data largely unusable without a warrant.

Lawmakers in several states, however, aren’t waiting.
