$1.2B/1M sqft "cyber security data center" being built in Utah

http://bit.ly/eaRdwT  (CNN)

What exactly does a "cyber security data center" do again?
Hmm.  Lots of mumbo-jumbo in the statement.  

"The NSA will take the lead at the center, assisting the Department of
 Homeland Security and other agencies in protecting cyber networks."

"CYBER NETWORKS!"  Wow.  Robby the Robot would dig it.

By the way ... why in Utah?  'Cause Orrin Hatch wanted it there.

Officially that's called "Cyber-Pork" my friends.
