From Justice Stevens dissent in Kyllo v United States[1]:
> Despite the Court's attempt to draw a line that is "not only firm but also bright," ... the contours of its new rule are uncertain because its protection apparently dissipates as soon as the relevant technology is "in general public use," ... Yet how much use is general public use is not even hinted at by the Court's opinion
