If I have my documents folded/crumbled up, stuffed into pockets... such that someone standing near me can see them sticking out, do they get to ignore warrant requirements to my person and papers because of that?
I'm not a lawyer either, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
Paper's not magical. If my behavior is sticking out of my pockets for everyone to see, they're not allowed to search through those unless they've got a fucking warrant. The amendment wasn't written with the express (or even covert) purpose of giving them ludicrous excuses to bypass its requirements. Reading it as if it were is wrong and deceitful.
