Once you let the SCOTUS make themselves the arbiters of what is covered by privacy and what is not, you've lost the battle.

Well who is the arbiter then? The right to be secure in one's house, etc. is clearly a right in the constitution, and therefore affords some standard of privacy? If the SC is not to enforce this clause then who does enforce it? If the SC does not enforce this ammendment, what other ammendments do they not enforce? If none, then what is the function of the SC, in your opinion?

"Well who is the arbiter then?"

It depends on the issue. In the Griswold case, Connecticut was the rightful arbiter. Now it's up to the SCOTUS to decide. They gutted the Constitution and found privacy rights where they did not exist.
