>    In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court gave a victory to
>    privacy advocates on Friday, ruling that police generally must have
>    permission from a judge before they can get cellphone records to plot
>    the movements of individual customers.  The decision requires police
>    departments nationwide to get a search warrant in order to obtain
>    telephone company data to track where a user has been. The technique
>    is widespread, given that 95 percent of Americans own a cellphone.
