Second cell phone privacy bill is making its way for a vote in the House

And where is the Senate bill, Mr. Frist?

The push to protect the privacy of telephone consumers, particularly those who use cellular phones, is back on the House agenda today. The chamber is set to consider a second bill on the topic.

A week ago, the House passed a bill, H.R. 4709, inspired in part by blogger John Aravosis of Americablog. That measure went through the Judiciary Committee....

In the Senate, meanwhile, Americablog reports that Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has asked Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., to put a Senate measure on cell privacy on the floor schedule. Reid made the request in a Friday letter that Aravosis posted at his blog.
