The warrants must be approved by a judge and are permitted in limited circumstances.

That kind of undercuts the "unbridled authority" assertion doesn't it?

According to the Act, the Judge must grant the warrant if law inforcement merely claims it is to be used in an on-going terrorist investigation...no burden of proof on LE at all.
