The constitution offers no such thing as the secrecy of a warrant. Court proceedings are all assumed to be open to public scrutiny, and any secrecy must be publicly requested in open court by requesting a meeting in chambers.

You really believe that it is common practice for a search warrant to be issued after a formal court hearing?

All it takes, and has ever taken, is for a peace officer to go to a judge and make an affidavit that he has reasonable grounds for a search.

I repeat, there is no provision for secrecy.
