Ask HN: NSL's, The NSA And Globalisation

Hey all!

So, I'm working on my new start-up at the moment. Now, we all know about the current brouhaha regarding the NSA.

What I want to know, is that being based in Australia, what the best way of minimising my exposure to the NSA's current setup.

Specifically -- do National Security Letters care about "borders"? If I got a cloud hosting setup over with Rackspace in Australia, will an NSL care that the servers are in Aus, or because it's an American company they'll still have to bend over and take it?

Thanks everyone.
