The way I see it, just like the phone and cable companies the
Three-Letter-Agencies really hate doing "truck rolls" because of the
cost (and risk).  They would much rather punch a few keys in the
privacy of the sub-sub-basement of the J. Edgar Hoover Building.  This
is nothing other than a cost-saving measure.  The hard jobs will still
have to be done by sending people out into the field.
