"Both Title III and FISA allow the government to carry out wiretaps without a court order in emergency situations involving risk of death or serious bodily injury and in national security cases."

Please quote the sections of the Constitution requiring warrants for wiretaps. The 4th Amendment is not meant to be a suicide pact and the judiciary is not Constitutionally invested with the power to determine the viable national security implications with regards to "unreasonable search and seizure".

Of course they are.
