I'm confused. According to Wikipedia, a search warrant is a court order. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_warrant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_warran

  There is a subtle but important difference in what they mean by the two. For a search warrant you have to demonstrate "probable cause" - i.e. that the evidence you expect to find is in the emails. For a simple court order (which would just be an order to hand over something) they only have to demonstrate suspicion.
