you want to tap into those numbers INSTANTLY!


Yes we do. And the law allows for that, by giving a 72 hour delay in asking for the warrant.

So when Zarqawi dials your number by mistake, it's good enough for me to say yes tap your phone. BUT...it must be by warrant issued by a judge who reviews the situation. These are the checks and balances our founding fathers placed on government, and that we still need to adhere to.

Why did the founding fathers design our government with checks and balances?

"The answer to that question is that when you find phone numbers on an Al Queda computer in Pakistan, you want to tap into those numbers INSTANTLY! "

And, under present law, you can. INSTANTLY.....just present your decision to the judicial side within 72 hours after doing so. Nothing in the current process slows anything down.
