Testifying in front of the House Financial Services Committee Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was cornered about why her agency demanded private banking institutions flag and turn over data on purchases made by Americans without a warrant. More specifically at stores like Bass Pro Shop, Cabela's and purchases of religious texts -- including the Bible.

In recent years the FBI has improperly conducted hundreds-of-thousands of searches and surveillance on American citizens without warrants.
