Certainly, the plain language of the amendment is, at best, ambiguous on that topic. There is a logical "break", which can indeed be read to say that only searches due to warrants are "reasonable", but the courts have not read it that way. Look at all the various circumstances when an LEO can do partial searches during various kinds of stops. And the entire adminstrative search doctrine.
