It takes a search warrant for co-located gear, but the warrants I
received as a rack monkey at a Web hosting company were served on the
company, not on the customer, and those warrants included gag orders --
I could not inform the customer that his equipment had its hard disk
copied. (Now THERE's a story, but you will have to by me beer to hear it.)
Mail tap orders? Same deal, had to do narrow captures and not speak a
word of it to anyone. (IRS warrant in that case. And if you think I'm
violating the gag order, that was 11 years ago.)
