There might be at least one good reason for NOT going overseas on that first leg. The NSA's charter restricts it to international operations.
According to published reports, such as Bamford's "Puzzle Palace", NSA does not have a "charter", in part because the originators intent to avoid limitations on operations. The CIA has a charter like you suggest. If you have a public reference on *any* limitation of NSA's operations please post here or send by email. Thanks. John
