Peter King has likened “the collection of data on millions of Americans” to “planning for D-Day”.
James Clapper had been asked:
Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?
Referring to that question, King later stated:[1]
This would be like asking someone on June 4th or June 5th, 1944, “Are we planning D-Day tomorrow or in two days?”
