This from Slashdot today:

The FBI was so cavalier -- and telecom companies so eager to help --
that a verbal request or even one written on a Post-it note was
enough for operators to hand over customer phone records, according
to a damning report (PDF) released on Wednesday by the US Department
of Justice Office of the Inspector General.
