Yep. The whole point of FISA courts is that they don’t have to meet the same standard of ‘reasonable suspicion’ of regular courts. If there was reasonable suspicion of a crime, it would be handled in regular courts.

The point oif FISA courts is muti-fold. FISA was created after the Keith case. The government argued that it didn't need a warrant to spy for foreign intelligence. The court agreed. The flip side is that without a warrant, the info can't be used to prosecute a crime.

Congress didn't want to tell the public the truth, that the government can spy without a warrant, so created FISA to make a cushy job for lawers and judges, and hide the fact from the public, that the government spies its ass off without warrants.

All for your own protection, of course. Otherwise people like Trump might get elected.
