CDT Calls for Judicial Approval of National Security Letters - CDT is calling on Congress to require judicial supervision of FBI requests for access to the sensitive records of US citizens to protect privacy and national security. Recent revelations regarding violations in the use of so-called "national security letters" have shown that no matter how many internal controls the FBI adopts, self-certification is not sufficient when the government is obtaining the sensitive financial and communications records of citizens. CDT believes Congress should reform the law and adopt a reasonable system of judicial checks and balances. March 12, 2007
