no they do not have to show you all they need is the search warrant. But what you should have done is to see the warrant. Sorry

search warrant
It keeps the police from being able to take your property or enter your dwelling indiscriminately. Meaning: under normal circumstances, a police officer cannot just take your property or come inside your house for no reason. He would have to appear before a magistrate and request a search warrant. Normally, courts will not issue a search warrant unless there is a valid reason to do so.
No they do not. If they have a signed search warrant they are allowed to enter without notice. They are only required to show you the warrant upon your request to see it. If they do not allow you to see the warrant, this could potentially invalidate the search and make any evidence found against you during the search inadmissible.Added: While the above may be true in the specific case of the service of search warraants, it is NOT so in the case of the service of an arrest warrant. Mere knowledge of the existence of an arrest warrant for an individual is sufficient to take that person into custody. The arrestee need not be shown the actual warrant at the time of arrest.
Specifically WHAT agency of the government are you referring to? If they are doing so at the direction of a court order, yes. Otherwise they must have a valid search warrant. EXCEPTION: The Internal Revenue Service.

Not long at all, the minute the judge signs it, it's in effect.
