The NSA is not permitted to spy on Americans. The Canadian equivalent is not permitted to spy on Canadians. So they spy on each others citizens and exchange information.

I believe you are thinking of the CIA, who is not suppose to operate on domestic grounds. A simplified view is that the NSA is basically the domestic branch of the CIA.

There's probably a good reason, but why not use microwaves? Wouldn't that be better to ensure even burn?

One problem: Engines are metal. Have you ever seen what metal does in a microwave?

My belief is the story's title is referring to them "forcing" you to update from the RC to the official release. Of course you could always go back to what you were using beforehand.
