Last KNOWN time there was a delay of > 2 months on FISC certifications, FISC ruled some practice (related to upstream search) violated 4A.

Maybe new Minimization Procedures and back and forth about them causing a delay?

Maybe Hogan et al didn't like what they heard abt criminal searches? Also remember Carlin left in October.

I'm worried Coates and Sessions will take a hatchet to the Minimization Rules but I guess this would preceed that

I can't believe they went far beyond the new year. 2011 delay was May to October tho (and obv there's been a shorter delay since).

Tho I wonder whether this has had anything to do with the request for a number of USPs affected.
