I doubt the NSA is gobbling up all the CF traffic because maybe, maybe they will find something of interest.

Can the NSA make CF "mirror" your website traffic to them if you are of interest to them, most likely yes.

I am not that paranoid to think that my website of a few corporate pages is of interest to the NSA.
