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.)
