6. Based upon the following facts, there is probable cause to believe that the locations

7. The facts set forth in this affidavit are based on my personal knowledge,
knowledge obtained during my participation in this investigation, and information obtained from
other FBI and U.S. Government personnel. Because this affidavit is submitted for the limited
purpose of establishing probable cause in support of the application for a search warrant, it does
not set forth each and every fact that I, or others, have learned during the course of this investigation.

[standard warrant application boilerplate. I have drafted or reviewed hundreds of search warrant applications, they all contain that caveat.]
