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.
