The NSA intends to collect all U.S. telephone records and put them in a searchable ‘lock box’ in the interest of national security, General Keith Alexander, the NSA’s director, told U.S. senators. ‘There is no upper limit’ on NSA telephone-records collection, Alexander said. ‘I believe it is in the nation’s best interest to put all the phone records into a lock box that we can search when the nation needs to do it.'”
