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.
It's self explanatory.

    What the fourth amendment does not explain is how it is actually applied. I would encourage you to look into how border crossings are different.
