See In re Sealed Case, 3 10 F.3d at
745; United States v. Duggan, 743 F.2d 59. 72 (2d Cir. 1984) (recognizing that the Fourth
Amendment implications of foreign intelligence surveillance are far different from ordinary
wiretapping, because they are not principally used for criminal prosecution).

Ouch. Is that a leftist I hear squealing? LOL

Exactly! Intelligence collection is not for law enforcement purposes. It doesn't matter whether or not the findings would stand up in court. That's not the idea. The idea is to provide warning of catastrophic attacks by armed agents of a foriegn power.
