US House and Senate Judiciary Committees both pass legislation to address phone privacy issue today

This is really great.

After only six minutes of discussion, the U.S. House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee unanimously approved the Law Enforcement and Phone Privacy Protection Act, a measure proposed just three weeks ago by five Republicans and four Democrats. A companion bill introduced in January by Sen. Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, also passed unanimously in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
