"David D. Noce is a federal magistrate judge on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. He was appointed to this position in 1976."
http://judgepedia.org/index.php/David_Noce This isn't even a federal ruling. This is a local ruling. The ACLU didn't even show up. The really interesting stuff pops up when the supreme court rules on it.
Yeah, this will be a good one. Its one of those issues that will make a conservative Justice's head explode when they try to balance keeping the government at bay with letting corporations have their way. I don't know what happened, but I assume that wireless manufacturers probably filed briefs siding with the gov't, essentially hedging their bets against lawsuits after the FBI secretly subpoenas users' whereabouts.
