The full fourth amendment...

   The right of the people to be secure in their persons, 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.

Perhaps Lawrence would like to review implications of that amendment. 
Definitely rules out surveillance without probable cause — and without an 
oath or affirmation, SPECIFICALLY describing the place, person and things to 
be seized.

So, yes, law abiding citizens of the United States do have the right to 
privacy, guaranteed in the Constitution.
