Well... okay, but without a warrant, doesn't that mean that the government has unlimited power as to how they spy on you? They can read your emails, or perhaps listen to your phone calls, as a warrant allows an authority to violate liberties, yet warrants also limit the liberties that can be violated. If the saying goes that "you have the right to remain silent" because what you say can be used as evidence in a court, surely that the FBI is able to do this is bad?
