True, but I was talking about the actual issue primarily being that Stingrays are mostly micro targeted, often with warrants due to costs, etc, while the vast majority of cell providers have warrantless, sometimes even subpoena-less web portals for LEAs to conduct spying operations on the public, or how the vast majority of the cell tower companies (separate from the major providers) themselves have the most useful information and do the same types of things.
While stingrays are an issue, the vast majority of spying on cell phone users (read: vast majority of US pop) comes from those other mechanisms which do employ the third party doctrine loopholes. I should have been more specific, but you are right about Stingray.
