The idea is that if they get info on a terrorist action they can spy right now and not wait a day or longer to get the warrent. Once they are done they have to go to a judge and get the warrent and make it retroactive. And in many of the cases they have had, they have not bothered to go back and get the warrents they are supposed to get whice makes it illegal.
