I think the Judge ruled correctly, and it will be interesting to see if it's appealed.

The guy didn't walk, he's paying a stiff price for his folly. Not only a pile of expensive citations, and probably some lost driving privileges, but he lost his shirt selling the bike. He didn't say so, but I suspect it was to appease his employers. At least he avoided 16 years in jail.

The legislation, which the Obama administration plans to submit to Congress next year, raises fresh questions about how to balance security needs with protecting privacy and fostering technological innovation. And because security services around the world face the same problem, it could set an example that is copied globally.
