Hey, can the NSA be prosecuted for possession of child pornography?

I bet not because of this:

    The agency did make efforts to limit analysts' ability to see webcam images, restricting bulk searches to metadata only.

Which is surely why they did it in the first place. So the higher-ups can probably access what they want under the "national security" defense, but the analysts at large are (supposedly) restricted to metadata.
