The FBI is not using planes for mass spying, Director James Comey said at a congressional hearing, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Comey was addressing concerns of residents, especially in Dearborn, Mich., where a small FBI plane has been spotted flying over the heavily Muslim community.
“We do not use planes for mass surveillance,” Comey said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, said Dearborn residents are suspicious.
“Many citizens feel reason to distrust the FBI because of their religious or ethnic background,” Conyers said when asking about the planes.
