Answer: True

Explanation:

In Kyllo v. United States (2001), a 5-4 opinion was delivered by Justice Antonin Scalia in which the Court held that the Government used a device that is not in public use, to explore details of the home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion hence the surveillance is a 'search' and is unreasonable without a warrant.
