> Yes, fluid definitions can be dangerous, but it can also be the most beautiful and powerful thing about the law. One such example separate but equal being defined constitutional in Plessy v Ferguson, then being redefined as unconstitutional in Brown v Board.
That is certainly a good point, however I guess I'm projecting my bias by presuming that this particular ruling should have skipped over the Plessy v Ferguson equivalent and landed immediately on Brown v Board.
I think a reasonable expectation of privacy should be the goal for everyone manufacturing hardware and developing software, especially as the world gets more and more connected.
The fact that it's not a reasonable expectation for a layman is a black mark on our industry (software and hardware), and is something we should work to change (by actually making secure software).
[Edit:] furthermore the fact that DoJ etc are sitting on zero-days, thus decreasing (by not increasing) the security of our systems is most definitely a negative contribution to this fight.
