criminal offense in violation of the laws of the United States.
(b) Delay. - With respect to the issuance of any warrant or court
order under this section, or any other rule of law, to search for
and seize any property or material that constitutes evidence of a
criminal offense in violation of the laws of the United States, any
notice required, or that may be required, to be given may be
delayed if -
(1) the court finds reasonable cause to believe that providing
immediate notification of the execution of the warrant may have
an adverse result (as defined in section 2705);
(2) the warrant prohibits the seizure of any tangible property,
any wire or electronic communication (as defined in section
2510), or, except as expressly provided in chapter 121, any
stored wire or electronic information, except where the court
finds reasonable necessity for the seizure; and
(3) the warrant provides for the giving of such notice within a
reasonable period of its execution, which period may thereafter
be extended by the court for good cause shown.
