I'm not sure you actually need to be the NSA for that. Anything you can
plug in that can do DMA can probably do it - firewire is one option, but
for something with PCI(e) or other slots you could probably plug in a
special card (or maybe just a firewire card). I think the RAM will
persist for a few minutes at least.
