Re: "Paul Engel, The Constitution clearly does protect the right to privacy. Re:
<<Bill of rights Article the sixth
[Amendment IV] (of the Constitution)
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. >>
There are numerous court cases in which the Constitutional right to privacy have been cited. Of interest here may be the case of the State of California vs. The FCC regarding caller-ID issues."
Protection against Government intrusion, not intrusion by the private sector. Much like Freedom of Speech, you can be silenced, it's just that the Government can't be the one doing it.
