The Fourth Amendment offers protection against unlawful searches and seizures. Think of court ordered search warrants based on probable cause.
Court-ordered search warrants based on probably cause don't violate the 4th amendment. However searches (including wiretaps) without court orders do.
Or do they? You'll need to investigate the Patriot Act (enacted after 9/11) to determine what you think.
