Heh.

> their constitutional privacy

Isn't that something that people are always pointing out "is not guaranteed by the Constitution"?

The Constitution guarantees the right to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects".

Which means what the Supreme Court says that it means. It's easy to imagine that it means something akin to what people mean by "privacy", but interpreting the Constitution is infinitely malleable so I don't have any idea what it means.
