Don’t give up so easily. Anything can be changed, provided enough people want to change it. Most undesirable practices only happen because they operate in the shadow of general ignorance and/or oblivion to their existence.
As generations that understand this tech implicitly come to power, things will change. To someone that does everything digitally the meaning of these words will be quite different than the currently accepted interpretation:
“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.”
