A much better real-world analogy that would fit this case, that the judge should have used, is: Let's say the FBI intercepts a shipment of illegal goods (either counterfeit merchandise, drugs, whatever). They intercept the shipment before it gets to a distributer, and they want to find out who the end customers are. Would they be allowed to put a gps tracker in the individual packages so that it reports their final location once they reach the end customers?
