NSA diplomats

"the NSA has established a relay station for communications intercepted overseas and a site for training. Employees are stationed in US embassies and consulates in crisis regions, but are also active in countries that are considered neutral, like Austria. The agents are protected by diplomatic accreditation, even though their job isn't covered by the international agreements guaranteeing diplomatic immunity: They spy pretty much as they please."
