I administer email for friends and family members using my quinns.net domain. The process of creating a new email account on my server requires approximately thirty seconds and costs roughly $0.00.

This defies logical explanation:

NEW YORK (AP) — Budget constraints are forcing some FBI agents to operate without e-mail accounts, according to the agency’s top official in New York.

“As ridiculous as this might sound, we have real money issues right now, and the government is reluctant to give all agents and analysts dot-gov accounts,” Mark Mershon said when asked about the gap at a New York Daily News editorial board meeting.

Note to Bin Laden: Don’t surrender via email to the FBI. Give them a call instead. If the 800 number generates a recording, please call collect.
