6. No, it has to be the NSA because why was she a target?

The NYPD can doubtless do all sorts of intel things when they have a target, but the question is how did she become a target in the first place?

It was working backward from searches, not working forward from her identity.

If she was a known target then the NYPD could have but a keystroke bug on her computers, tapped her wireless, etc..

But it appears that she became a target from the searches, in which case the targeting would have to start with somebody looking at all searches.
