Idiots.

you really don't know how this works. If the man comes down and asks for a copy of the data, the host must give them a copy of the data. You really can't say no to it, well you can and then the US marshals come in and lock down your facility and kick you out, put chains on the doors to datacenter cages etc. You can either work with them or get your ass handed to you by them. There are several laws/acts out there that providers have to abide by that forces them to comply.

9 times out of 10 the equipment is held hostage and the host, such as carpathia is out of luck and nothing they can do.
