Texasforever, having someone violate your privacy does not remove your right to privacy.

You have a "right to privacy" anywhere you have the EXPECTATION of privacy. You do not have that expectation in Wal-Mart.

You're right in that context, Texasforever.
I don't expect to be invisible while walking through Wal-Mart.

What got us talking about "privacy" is my interpetation of the 4th Amendment
as a limitation on the government's ability to interfere with our privacy.

By privacy, I don't mean that no one can see me,
I mean that I am not required to explain my actions, unless I am accused of wrong-doing.
In other words, if someone demands that I explain why I paid cash for that car,
I am justified in telling them to mind their own business.

Exactly!
