Other laws already answer your questions. No, actually, it was the Patriot Act that finally allowed LE agencies to file for a warrant to wiretap a *person* instead of a particular phone number. Seems sensible. In the age of disposable pre-paid cell phones, it would be impossible otherwise.
Is this one of the things you think is a problem? Why?

Law enforcement has already had this tool available to them all along. So, no, this never was problem in the first place.
