That's not the legal justification they typically use though (although yes, they do that too). I'm saying so-called administrative "warrants" are constitutionally illegitimate because they authorize a 4th amendment seizure without judicial approval. So even when they were more or less following the rules, they were still violating the constitution. But since the courts OK'd it, no one cares.
Yeah, absolutely.
