The attorney general has to approve an emergency authorization and be sure that he can make a good case for getting a warrant after the fact (within 72 hours). Claiming that requirement *hampers* the institution of a wiretap amounts to saying NSA wants to be able to institute emergency wiretaps *without good reason*. Does that make you feel secure that nobody's privacy is going to be violated without good cause? Would you want President Hillary Clinton to have that kind of leeway?
