Actually, I belive that neither is required with the introduction of National Security Letters.

Well, they may seem the same to you, but they are treated differently under the law. To get access to historical phone records requires a subpoena. To get access to real-time call data requires a warrant. As far as I understand it, there are different levels of evidence required for each, and different procedures to go through. You may think that the difference between the two is trivial, but as I understand it, they're pretty different from a law enforcement perspective. -- Jerry -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
