NSA Chief: Yes, We've Bulk Collected Americans' GPS Cell Phone Data

Director of the National Security Agency admitted publicly on Wednesday that his agency did, in fact, collect bulk GPS location data from American cellphone users during a NSA field test that took place between 2010 and 2011.

Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committeeon Wednesday, NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander said the agency “received samples in order to test its systems,” making sure the capability was actually sound but said the agency did not “process” the information it gathered.

Alexander has repeatedly dodged questions about whether or not the NSA had a program to perform dragnet collection of the location data contained in the cellphones of U.S. citizens and residents.
