[quote=Osborn F Enready;435350]What is a "right to be secure"?

The right to privacy. Determined however by the needs of the time.

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.

How the court understands this decided how we are protected. The court could take a case and determine this only applies to privacy during an arrest or a crimminal case. The court could decide people have no right to privacy if there is cause to believe invading their privacy is a needed.

The highest court has the power to decide how a the contitution is used. The article can say X but the court can always say X means Y.
