This is partly an extension of an earlier thread that I geuss I didn't explain well enough.
Lets say that you know with 100% certainty that there will be a terrorist attack. You know that there will be thousands of causulties. Tens of thousands will be seriously injured. However, you don't know when or where the attack will occure. You know that the leaders of the attack, and you can bug there phone. However, if you were to try to get a wire tap warrant through legitimate methods, it could easily take too long. So, you can tap them illegally, or not. Would you? What if you only knew with 90% certainty. What about 80% certainty?
At point in your certainty would you not use wire taps in the situation above?
