A FISA subpoena or an NSL can only compel Apple to give certain types of information that Apple already has. They can’t compel Apple to gather information they don’t already have.

Turns out that evil bastards also have no sense of beauty or proper data formatting.

That can’t be true because the old pen/trap orders required installation of a device to record the calls.

A wiretap order is a different kind of order and goes through the district court, not FISA. The legal standard for it is also much higher than for other subpoenas by statute.

FISA is from the 1970s and covered wiretapping.

You have far more faith in a system of secret courts and gag orders than I do.

Yep. FBI Lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith gets to lie to the FISA court, fabricate emails to get 2-hop warrants and then gets zero days in prison and as of this month is allowed to practice law again. It's an absolute joke.
