Well, having read the link I provided, it appears that NSLs cannot
legally be used to gain physical access to servers.

Regardless, I have little confidence in law enforcement agencies to
limit their activities to those permitted by law, nor do I expect many
employees of hosting sites to have the will and strength to resist law
enforcement agents making demands of them in the name of national
security.
