It doesn't remotely apply to this case, where the crime was a string of department store robberies. FISA warrants are a completely different beast. I don't like them either, but they have no bearing on this particular case. Though, I should add that, from the details of the case, it seems like they had more than enough probable cause to get a warrant.

FISC warrants are for people physically located within the US and its territories or who have data or property stored within the US. > It doesn't remotely apply to this case You have to read comments within the context they were given. This is a broader discussion about warrants, and the specific comment I was replying to asked for data on claims of "rubber stamping" of warrants.
