Avoiding Carter Page's problem is easy. Stop talking to Russian spies and helping them. As to the FISA warrants, keep in mind that of the 4 issued, 2 were actually found to be valid. Yes, some people lied to get those other two - and they've paid a price for their lying. Were there problems? Yes. But there wouldn't have been any problems in the first place if Page wasn't feeding information to the Kremlin.

Misinformation. Page was never "feeding information to the Kremlin".

No probably cause = no warrant = no eavesdropping.
