“A U.S. surveillance court has given the National Security Agency no limit on the number of U.S. telephone records it collects in the name of fighting terrorism, the NSA director said Thursday. 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.'”
