I can't remember the specific facts, but I think the fed in vegas was going after strip clubs/politicians/scanal under the PA with not even an alleged terrorist connection.

But the point is, they're doing things they could have done before using existing statutes, and merely listing the PA sections as the relevent authority on the warrants. No substantive difference - just an easier, all-inclusive label and statutory citer for cops to remember.
