Would a gag order hide the warrant? This could explain why no one is suing the FBI.

This is why no one is suing the FBI:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_immunity

You can't generally sue them unless they physically maim or kill you. Government privilege.

I checked that page and checked the page specifically addressing Sovereign Immunity in the USA. Other than the repeated assertion that the US government has it on the wikipedia page, I could find no evidence that they do.

For instance, I doubt the constitution provides for this immunity.

I think that this immunity is not legal.

But maybe I missed some text in the constitution that grants it.

Yes, some gag orders last 90 days for certain felonies...namely computer break-ins..ie hacking ..do not know about the other ones...

There's also the separate parallel intelligence warrant system (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intellige...

About as close to the Star Chamber as exists in the US judicial system. Basically the rules of FISA warrant include "you cannot talk about FISA warrant."

If a FISA warrant were served, it would kind of excuse DigitalOne's behavior in the whole thing to some extent.
