House Homeland Security Intelligence Subcommittee Chairwoman Jane Harman, D-Calif., and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs ranking member Susan Collins wrote to President Obama Monday urging him to appoint members to the White House Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, CongressDaily reported Tuesday. The letter urged Obama to "fulfill the pledge you made earlier this year to reconstitute the board and accelerate the selection process of its members."
A fully engaged and independent privacy panel in the Executive Branch is particularly important as Congress works on reauthorizing expiring provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and other issues, they wrote. Their message followed a similar effort in April by Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy and Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., who called the board "a critical government component" vital to "ushering in a new era of responsibility."

BTW, the only method to secure yourself from spy devices and irritative calls is to use Phone blocker. Block mobiles around you.

I almost forgot, the best method to protect yourself from spy gadgets and irritative calls is to use Mobile blocker. Disable mobiles around you.
