Three words: National Security Letters. Two more words: Warrantless wiretaps. Combine that with an officially stated position by the Bush administration that even the FISA court fig leaf warrants are too burdensome (and not officiallyrepudiated by the Obama administration as far as I know), and the known abuse of NSL's and other surveillance methods, I don't hold out much hope for laws based on "traditional warrant based prosecution" unless we see a sudden sea change in DC. tl;dr - Keep hoping, but it doesn't look good.
