But I wonder if computer hacking (which this likely would fall under) can be "lawfully authorized" outside the confines of a search warrant. The Attorney General could order the FBI to break into the computers of a hedge fund suspected of insider trading, but that clearly wouldn't be lawful unless authorized via search warrant. This is very similar.
