“The FBI has shrugged off growing congressional anxiety over its surveillance of US citizens, claiming such programs could have foiled the 9-11 terrorist attacks and would prevent ‘another Boston’.   In a frequently heated debate over balancing privacy and security, Mueller went further than other government officials in claiming that the collection of data on all American phone calls had become an essential part of counter-terrorism efforts and would make the US ‘exceptionally vulnerable’ if watered down. He also rejected calls from technology companies such as Google to disclose the scale of the programs, saying even this information could help terrorists.”
