This should make you feel comfortable
The Pentagon recently signaled to a U.S. senator that it could not publicly reveal if or how it was buying access to Americans’ car, phone, and online metadata, only that, whatever it was doing, it was not violating the 4th amendment and also definitely didn’t need a warrant to do it.
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) has been trying to get to the bottom of how and why the Department of Defense procures data through the private sector. Wyden became interested in the issue after multiple media reports showed that agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Special Forces, and, comfortingly, an agency in charge of drone strikes, have all been turning to the private sector to purchase data from ordinary apps. In January, the Defense Intelligence Agency admitted to buying access to the location data of phones based in the U.S.
Tariffs of 1962
1967 Supreme Court decision
American Trucking Assns. v. A., T. & S.F. R. Co., 387 U.S. 397 (1967)
"What [those who object to open-tariff TOFC] overlook is that all TOFC service is inherently bimodal, in that its basic characteristic is the combination of the inherent advantages of rail and motor transportation. . . ."
322 I.C.C. at 329. Thus, the District Court's view of the statutory compartmentalization of transportation as either rail or motor or water fails to recognize the primary fact about TOFC, which, in any of its varieties, cannot be made to fit the District Court's rigid modal conceptualization .
[Footnote 11]
Cf. United States v. Rock Island Co., 340 U. S. 419, 340 U. S. 433 (1951):
"Complete rail domination [over motor transportation] was not envisaged as a way to preserve the inherent advantages of each form of transportation."
