" EXECUTIVE ORDER 12949
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PHYSICAL SEARCHES'

Can you tell me how this applies to wiretaps? Just simply seeking information not a fight!

[NeonKnight]

The courts have determined that there is no difference between physical searches and electronic eavesdropping.

In this case, you don't look at this as a 'wiretap' as this is data mining. There isn't a physical tapping of lines. Instead, follow the legal definition of 'information' that the EO gives the right to acquire. There are also SCOTUS rulings that clarify that eavesdropping are equivalent to 'physical searches' as stated in this amendment.
