Connectedness“..in the long run [..] useful technology is hard to stop. [..],the real battle will be the one fought in defense of technologies that protect privacy.”
“…one who installs in his house a telephone […] intends to project his voice to those quite outside, and that the wires beyond his house and messages while passing over them are not within the protection of the Fourth Amendment.

Chief Justice Taft
The makers of our Constitution […] conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone -- the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men. To protect that right, every unjustifiable intrusion by the Government upon the privacy of the individual, whatever the means employed, must be deemed a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
Justice Brandeis, dissenting
Olmstead v. United States (1928)
right to be let alone
Louis Brandeis & Samuel Warren "The Right to Privacy" (1890-91) 4 Harvard Law Review pp.193-220
[…] specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance. Various guarantees create zones of privacy.
Griswold v. Connecticut (1965)
[1st:] The right of association contained in the penumbra of the First Amendment is one, as we have seen.
[3rd:] The Third Amendment in its prohibition against the quartering of soldiers "in any house" in time of peace without the consent of the owner is another facet of that privacy. […]
[4th / 5th:] The Fourth and Fifth Amendments were described as protection against all governmental invasions "of the sanctity of a man's home and the privacies of life."
Liberty Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
No State shall [...] deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.+
