An actual warrant signed by a judge, or an administrative subpeona?

Under an EO signed by Bush, law enforcement must first provide probable cause that someone is engaged in terrorist activity, and afterwards an admistrative subpeona can be used. But there is still a safeguard of probable cause involved, and this does not apply to American citizens. Instead of issuing hysteria, the ACLU would be better served to codify in law that constraint instead of leaving it to be determined by EO.
