In a 5-4 decision the Court determined that the government cannot mechanically measure the warmth in a home, with a device that is not in general public use, unless it has probable cause for doing so.

We believe that the new positioning is perceived as functional and a cheap solution which saves money. This is not in line with the first positioning of high quality, premium price, modern and safe.
