How much time does it take to obtain a warrant to wiretap a cell phone?

About the same time it takes to get a warrant for a 'tap' on any communication - very little. What is required is for law enforcement to submit an affidavit to the court setting forth 'probable cause' why a particular phone should be monitored for criminal activity, and the for the judge to sign it.
