Can anyone please suggest an accurate title? We will change it.

This might work:

"U.S. judges propose updating warrants for Tor, remote searches: p338 (2014)"

It captures that the source of these recommendations is a judicial conference of federal judges, not the FBI, and that it's dated August 2014. And it mentions the more interesting section (to me) on page 340, which is the fact that warrants could authorize "remote access to search electronic storage and seize or copy electronically stored information" via the Internet.

Not perfect, but it seems workable...

Thanks! We'll use that unless someone suggests a better one.

FBI seeks flexibility for venue of warrants against users of VPN and Tor (p. 338)

seems like a reasonable improvement.

Where "flexibility" means dropping a constitutional requirement.

"... no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

We'll just invade a computer hiding its location, your honor. No, probably not in your district. Sign here.

Or, it is keeping with it by saying that the logical place to be searched is a acceptable description. That seems appropriate for a logical entity (or at least one where the physicality of it is transient and irrelevant).
