Mobile phone carriers have seen a dramatic increase in requests from law enforcement for customers' phone records, according to new data provided to Congress. Police say that the information -- which can include location information, text messages and call records -- is critical to fighting crime. But civil liberties advocates are calling for new standards to protect customers' privacy.

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Chris Conley, technology and civil liberties policy attorney with the ACLU of Northern California
  • Jeffrey Rabkin, vice president of Stroz Friedberg, a global computer forensics and computer investigations firm
  • Ross Schulman, public policy and regulatory counsel for the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA)
