But the word "warrant" appears nowhere in there. The agencies requesting the keys aren't required to present a warrant; they're only required to promise that they're lawfully authorized.
You're misunderstanding the language. Strictly speaking, law-enforcement agents who seek wiretaps receive "authorization orders," not warrants. So the word "authorized" is perfectly appropriate. --Mike
