Senator Wyden's bill would be akin to asking a police officer having to get a warrant every time they happen to look at legally collected evidence in their evidence locker. Makes no sense whatsoever. Requiring a warrant for every query of already lawfully collected information in the 702 database would significantly hinder the ability to respond to emerging threats. So Mr. President, for that reason, I object. The objection is heard. I recognize the Senator from Oregon. Thank you, Mr. President. And I think it's unfortunate what my friend from Texas is saying.
