Constitution requires probable cause for every searchDoes the Constitution give you the right to drive the approaches to an airport. I'm not picking with you. If you feel like it, talk me into it.

There's no "right to drive into an airport" anymore than there is a "right to walk down the street" or a "right to sit in your house and pick your nose."
Either way, though, the government can't just search you when you're walking down the street, or sitting in your house picking your nose, or, in this case, driving into an airport.

Wrong premise.
The Constitution does not grant rights. It merely states how those rights may be limited, given that rights are inalienable and have been provided by God.
The items which are not SPECIFICALLY mentioned in the Constitution are reserved for the states to decide on. Hence, given that there is no Constitutional provision against "the right to drive the approaches to an airport" there is automatically one (at the Federal level, that is).

A better question for you. Does the Constitution prevent me from doing so? The Constitution is an enumeration of power's and is intended to LIMIT gubermint, not the Citizen. Blackbird.
