What Ever Happened to the 4th Amendment?

When government's above the law,
You can call it tyranny.
Don't touch my junk,
Airport security punk!
Is this still the land of the free?
I do not consent
To some cop for rent
Violating me.
Get your hands of my kid,
And you best put a lid
On your naked picture spree.
Cause our Constitution
Prevents this pollution
Of the rights we're guaranteed.
So remove your paws
Unless you've got probable cause.
A police state isn't free.

Remember this?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
