Tragically the 4th amendment is kinda narrow. I would definitely appreciate some additions which enshrine a more specific right to privacy. Protecting against "unlawful" searches (AKA you have to take the case to court afterwards) is far to close to meaningless. Feels like the 4th amendment is about 10% as powerful as it should be.
