From the actual ruling:

The astoundingly specific provisions for the qualifications of the security firm that the manufacturer must commit to hire for at least five years raise still more questions that go well beyond the Commerce Clause.
[...]
These circumstances raise obvious concerns about protectionist purposes and what looks very much like a legislative grant of a monopoly to one favored in-state company in the security business.

Tell me that isn't a shot across the Indiana State legislature's bow from this court?

Perhaps.
But the FBI investigated the state too. The findings were not good for Indiana. They had agreed to rewrite the law anyway, but they were not in a hurry about getting anything done.


Too late for the many businesses that went tits up because of the legislation.
