If you actually read the United States Constitution, you'll find nothing in there that shields you from security checks as precursors to private business transactions.
When you pay for something with a credit card and the cashier asks to see your ID, do you complain that your constitutional rights are being violated?

I refuse to show my ID, not because of the US Constitution, but because both VISA and MASTERCARD forbid merchants from demanding ID as a condition of using the card. VISA and MASTERCARD have recently confirmed to me that this is still their rule.
Only way ID with a credit card is ok is if the signature clearly doesn't match, the card is not signed, or if all customers (including cash customers) must show ID.
Rules is rules, and I make merchants follow them.
