  And the NSA finessed this to work with multiple servers being sent from a manufacturer.

  By far the most fun to be had in the intelligence world is Foreign Materiel Acquisition. Acquire, disassemble, document, re-assemble (+1 part), return unnoticed. NASIC wrote up a fun article last year about their FMA program [1].

  They borrowed it. After all, the Soviets got it back? When I read the subject I thought the article would be about the CIA taking a Soviet satellite from orbit in one of those secretive shuttle missions, but no.

    "You cannot prove I stole the moon, but I did put it back"- or something like that. Borrowing an orbiting satellite would be something to brag about.
