Correct. The government probably figured, they don't need a subpoena, because they already manage the AP so closely.
You aren't hearing any serious dissent from the AP.
That said, we have to be vigilant about any overreach, as civil rights are too hard to get back once you give them up.
- mpyne 13y agoAs far as I can tell this was done via subpoena (but it's uncertain under whose authority the subpoena was issued, it may not have been a judge or grand jury). Had there not been a subpoena the U.S. would likely not have informed the AP of the search at all.
