Time and administrative issues and the fact that before an emergency taping can occur, all necessary elements of a warrant need to be in order and the AG needs to sign on the dotted line for that. If ANY element is missing, then the taping can't go forward. So despite the fact I may have strong suspicision that Muhammad Ishmael Ishtar from Pakistan may be affiliated with Al Qaeda, I can't go ahead and tape his conversations. It would be like not taping communications with Japan and Germany during WWII

In other words, you had better be sure before you put a wiretap on Jerry Wilson from Akron, Ohio.

They aren't spying on Americans that have nothing to do with terrorism, at least not with this program.

Which program are they using to spy on Americans, then? ;)
