We review a magistrate judge's decision to issue a search warrant for clear error. United States v. Bertrand, 926 F.2d 838, 841 (9th Cir.1991). Our review "shows deference to the issuing magistrate [judge]'s determination" and is "less probing than de novo review." In re Grand Jury Subpoenas Dated Dec. 10, 1987, 926 F.2d 847, 856 (9th Cir.1991) (internal quotation marks omitted).
