That my friend is a constitutional right exetended by the constitution. not by God.

the declaration of independence is not a legal guiding document. It was a justification for insurection against an unjust king.

and it was backed by the blood of the patriots.

"inalienable" applies to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" found in the declairation. NOT to rights extended by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

it is a very fine distinction but a very important legal distinction.

So... the amendments to the constitution are only extended (although I do not accept that hypothesis) when convenient?

We can bypass the 4th amendment to the constitution?

no. they are extended by the full force of the full constitution....however with certain limitations... those being the interpretation provided by the supreme court.

and in all cases it is possible for a person to surrender your constitutional rights. (think Miranda)

when purchasing a ticket to fly you agree to the parameters set forth. Those parameters include submitting to a search.

Again, constitutional rights protect you from the government. They do not protect you from a private company that has every right to apply specific restrictions as a term of use.
