Not So, If you require warrants then a judge gets to find out who the goverment is planning to go after How are you going to effectively require warrants. You can make the law say anything you want but when and how it will be enforced is an important consideration. In criminal cases the requirement for a warrant is enforced through the exclusionary rule. If you didn't get a warrant, than the information you obtained may not be admissible and the perp may walk. That method doesn't work as well with Intel gathering. Many of the people observed will never have any action taken against them, and if action is taken against them there is a good chance it won't be prosecution. They may be killed, deported, or detained, they may just become the focus of more intensive surveillance. The exclusionary rule never becomes a factor. Tim
