I think that the concern is that is courts weren't involved ie no authorization and or no paper trail wire taps could be used as a weapon of the president against anyone they see fit. The reason for FISA was after all the watergate break ins and other abuses of power for political gain. Most people just want to be able to check that phones were tapped for good reason and that the information was used appropriately.
