>> Since you can get a warrant in mere hours in some cases
I can't speak to property seizure warrants, so you may be right there. However, if it is anything like arrest warrants, this is rarely true.
Fun fact: Typically, it takes a mountain of evidence to convince a judge to issue a warrant, and then those serving the warrant have a small window of time to execute. If they are late, or the individual isn't present, then it expires and a new set of evidence has to be presented to issue another warrant.
(I often think it's amazing anyone is arrested at all).
My lack of knowledge notwithstanding, I doubt that issuing a warrant to seize a plane would be a quick, Law and Order-like process, simply due to the size and dollars involved.
