What would make sense to me is that the company is able to "mediate" the FISA warrant, not the access request itself. Kind of like the TLS CA architecture; once you go and "trust" the root CA you would automatically trust requests that were signed by that CA.

Presumably they could ensure that their automated mediator limits the data collection only to things approved by the FISA warrant, in this case there would be no need to keep manually double-checking as the computer would do that for the company.

Likewise the automated system could continue to update the data in the "drop box". Think long-polling techniques or push notifications to the NSA analyst's machine.
