Paul is wrong when he says the Fourth Amendment warrant solves the problem. That's true only if we already know who the terrorists are.
In this day and age of electronic communication at the speed of the Internet around the world, keyword searches and analysis of communication patterns is absolutely necessary to make the identification possible. Then warrants are in order, but we can't get warrants if we can't first identify the suspects.
Paul's concerns would be admirable if there was actually a basis for concern for the average American. There isn't.

I guess a good question this makes me ask myself: Why does Paul think it's wrong?
If we aren't doing anything terrorist-related, we have nothing to fear.
I've seen people using a Benjamin Franklin quote (mostly out of context) in order to explain:
[FONT=alright_sansmediumitalic]Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
