And, of course, the United States is based on the concept of natural rights. Hence the Bill of Rights saying, "Congress shall may no law".

Americans 4th Amendment right wasn't created by the 4th Amendment, but merely acknowledged by it. All human beings have an inherent right to privacy -- to suggest otherwise as a US citizen is self-contradictory.

The problem is no human beings except US citizens have the inherent right to enter US. So you can easily refuse to surrender your privacy - and they can as easily to deny you entry to the US. Unless, of course, you are a citizen - then they'd make it suck as much as they legally and semi-legally can but eventually they'd have to let you in.
