Does the FBI track our credit cards? This article:

talks about hydroponics in the US. I found one comment in the article disturbing:
“Fujimoto said one of his research assistants got a call from the FBI after using a credit card to buy nutrients for the campus greenhouse at a hydroponic-supply store.”
How did the FBI know about this transaction? Is the FBI monitoring our credit cards? Isn’t that unconstitutional?
