It encompasses 1 million square feet (seven times larger than the Pentagon) and contains the fastest supercomputers that will store huge quantities of data from e-mails, phone calls, and internet activity from all over the world, once they are turned on. The Utah computers are expected to be running by October, 2013. Then, this monstrous facility will become a desert home for NSA codebreakers, hackers, spy agencies, crypto-mathematicians, data miners, counterterrorism specialists, and a multitude of other specialized agencies who will be ... virtually, eavesdropping on peoples' digital communications.
What is the purpose of doing all this? The most popular answer to that question is that this is being done "just to keep us safer" by tracking and countering terrorist plots. That is likely a major part of the reason, but some researchers doubt that claim and believe that there may be more to it than that. I guess only time will tell.
