As the majority opinion states, if the government has the means to trace a subject (i.e., using dogs to track a scent), then the criminal shouldn't have "privacy" protection. Don't like it? Don't carry a cellphone. They government shouldn't have to obtain a warrant to track an electronic signal that you're emitting 24 hours a day.
