If you were wondering why the National Security Administration is building a huge new data center in Utah, now you know. It likely will house millions and millions of records of phone calls, credit card transactions, web searches and emails.The NSA is building a million square-foot data mining complex in Bluffdale, Utah.
But given the fact the NSA already reportedly intercepts 1.7 billion American electronic records and communications a day, it makes sense that they would need to expand operations beyond its headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland.

Well, all it takes is a whole lot of your (taxpayer) money.
