SCOTUS rules unanimously that cellphone searches require warrants

The most interesting thing to me is the unanimity of the decision.

My question is... what does this mean for the NSA? If the data is private and worthy of protection, then what does it matter whether it's taken directly off the device or upstream in transit?

Legal types may be able to pick that argument apart quite quickly, but that's how my simple brain looks at it...

the nsa requires warrants, but the fisa court is a rubber stamp machine, approving over 97% of requests... or something like that.
