The irony of the CIA using AOL is palpable. A "hardened" AOL account? Does such 
a thing exist?

A couple of suggestions:-

Won't happen, 'cause we'll all be rooned if it's done with fibre. :(

Won't happen 'cause the government is committed to (cheap?) WiFi.

actually up to H1 2018. Only 23 towers planned to cover a huge area. 
It's looking like a less than credible effort.
