While I agree the 4th is under attack (for want of a better word), it does not grant the right of privacy. Unless you only take some of the wording out of context. viz:
The 4th Amendment guarantees citizens of the United States "...the right...to be secure in their person, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
