New Twist in International Relations: Corporate Keep-My-Data-Out-of-U.S. Clause
Worst possible knee-jerk reaction.<p>Data outside the US is the <i>easiest</i> for the NSA to access. It's only data that never <i>leaves</i> the US which in theory you can argue is subject to warrants.<p>Of course, since it's so easy to redirect your traffic outside the US using BGP, it's not really a defense no matter where you are storing your data, but the clause is certainly pointless.
