Yes, well, we all know how well the USA PATRIOT Act and Protect America Act have curtailed warrantless surveillance of the general population. The most effective use of large-scale computing facilities is running them full bore all the time. Anything less than that is a waste of power, cooling, operators' salaries and the cost of the hardware itself. If the NSA has an RSA factoring supercomputer capable of factoring RSA keys in useful time then then the most effective use of that facility is factoring every RSA key the NSA scoops up. -- Rich P.
