To get a warrant you have to show a legitimate cause for needing it. If you don't have one it won't be issued. Being able to show through phone records that a call was made to a suspected terroist linked party would be the evidence to get the warrant. Knowing that a person called a certain number isn't the same as listening in on the conversation. Once you have the warrant then the conversations can be tapped. We didn't need the Patriot Act to do this as it was done before that as I said above. Congress had given the NSA the authority to monitor international phone traffic when it was created. The NSA unconstitutionally took it a step further when they started looking at calls made domestically, which isn't even their jurisdiction. Rand Paul did not know this and stuck his foot in his mouth.
