Objects/documents aren't analogous to walls.
If you were required to have transparent walls then the police could put cameras everywhere in the street and use them to record everything that happens in your house. If your walls are opaque then they can't. Even if they get a warrant, there is no way to go back and look at a recording of what happened inside your house the day before, since the opaque walls prevented any such recording from being made. It's well analogous to transport encryption.
