The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that law enforcement officers need to get a search warrant before they can search through the contents of someone's smartphone.
The term 'cell phone' is itself misleading shorthand; many of these devices are in fact minicomputers that also happen to have the capacity to be used as a telephone," Roberts wrote. "They could just as easily be called cameras, video players, rolodexes, calendars, tape recorders, libraries, diaries, albums, televisions, maps, or newspapers.

They DON'T get technology. At all. But apparently a majority (okay all) of the supremes have taken a liking for their own smartphones and realized that their bathroom "selfies" might be embarrassing at border crossings.

If they understood technology and the law then Aereo would still be in business.
