How do you expect any surveillance to be performed in this age of cell phones, internet and such? How?

The technology is there to monitor cell phones and internet communication. In fact, it’s not even difficult.

They can't use any information outside the original request against anyone in the courts.

Are we so far removed from the Clinton Administration that we no longer appreciate the fact that the government has avenues and agencies beyond the courts?

These powers, once granted to the government, are never going to revert back to the people, no matter what they say.

The point is not that the technology exists or not, but rather can law enforcement use it to the fullest extent. As an example, when a suspect leaves one geographical area and travels to another, do you want law enforcement to go through the same process to once again get judicial approval for a tap?
