Those warrants are secret. We don't even know if they're following the rules they lay out.

In the US, the secret FISA court hasn't turned down a single warrant. Either the government is only coming to them with completely justified cases or they're just a rubber stamp. Either way, there's no oversight so we have no way of knowing.

For now. Once the means are there it's only a matter of time until everything is scanned automatically.
