I'm not so sure that there corrected version is correct. Preet Bharara mentioned in his show recently how unusual it is to simultaneously raid one's home, office, and hotel room. He said in his vast experience as a prosecutor, the only time they did that was when they had immediate actionable intelligence that led them to believe time was critically important (and of course a judge has to agree with that assessment). In his experience, this almost always came from direct monitoring of conversations, since there's no other way to get that sort of temporal information.
