For that you'd need a sham court full of rubber stamping judges handing out bogus search warrants for every single questionable and illegal request that comes to them. That seems a stretch of the imagination? What judge would to _that?_

We could call that the FISA Court, right?

No, you need just one: "every phone connected to at least two of these N base stations over this 48-hour window".

Which is quite a modern take on a historically reviled phenomenon, so you should call them for what they are: general warrants.
