   Excellent point!  Although, that Utah operation might not have been
   functioning in 2011.  But presumably the NSA had a smaller operation
   somewhere else prior to that.
   So, who wants to REMIND the prosecutors in IRS-gate that somebody else
   has these emails?
   Maybe the future for the NSA will be as a type of
   "super-backwards-Carbonite" operation?  But instead of, "Pay us money
   and we'll back up your emails", it'll be, "Pay us money and we WON'T
   back up your emails"!!!
