Yes, search warrants are very disruptive things (when applied to 
premises as well as servers). It's one reason service providers will try 
to co-operate [with more finely tuned disclosure orders] as much as they 
think is reasonable, in order not to be served with a full search 
warrant.

But at the end of the day law enforcement has a job to do, however 
inconvenient the virtual "Police Line - Do not Cross" tape turns out to 
be.
