"Verizon Communications said on Friday it does not and will not provide 
any government agency unfettered access to customer records...USA Today 
reported on Thursday that the National Security Agency (NSA) was 
secretly amassing phone records from the country's three biggest phone 
companies to analyze calling patterns in an effort to detect terrorist 
plots.

The report prompted both Democrats and Republicans to demand 
explanations amid brewing concern over personal privacy rights. A Senate 
panel plans to ask the phone companies for information on the matter.

"Verizon does not, and will not, provide any government agency 
unfettered access to our customer records or provide information to the 
government under circumstances that would allow a fishing expedition," 
the company said on Friday."
