My position has always been that no one is entitled to "privacy" in the Constitution. Unlawful search and seizure of property, sure, but not the monitoring of communications, especially if the target is in the military or CIA/FBI/NSA/mossad/ or any other agency. I still remember how Ames & Hansen beat the system and cost us dearly.
If the monitoring of communications is happening between two people, in their private property, using a private company's communication line, then it would seem to me that the 4th and even the 5th are being violated.
While there's no DIRECT "Right to privacy" in the constitution, the 4th and the 5th pretty much protect citizens from most abuses of privacy if everything is being done on or via private property.
