In practice the bar is so incredibly low. Carter Page was wiretapped based on nothing but the word of a foreign intelligence agent. Page had previously aided the US government in an investigation of a Russian asset. There was no other corroborating evidence. Suggesting that Page was committing or contemplating the commission of a crime. When hearsay from foreigners is sufficient 'probable cause' for a FISA warrant, there is no barrier to obtaining one. I read in a recent article that, out of more than a thousand FISA applications, ONE was rejected. FISA courts are a rubber stamp for wonton state surveillance.
