The FBI HQ in Washington, if I remember correctly, refused the request from the FBI in Minneapolis, to ask for a search warrant from the FISC, so that they could look at the computer, because they had just been reprimanded by that court for lying to it several times when asking for, as it turned out, less important search warrants. Back in those days, you remember you had to have a search warrant to look at other people's stuff and you weren't supposed to lie about the reason for requesting it. Those were the Pre-Patriot days. -joan
