Government has perfect right to enter private property if it is in the governmental interest, even more so in the case of national security. It has never been any different.
That is true of your home and outbuildings and the area around them known as curtledge. But there is a legal concept known as 'Open Fields' and any officer with a legitimate law enforcement purpose can enter open fields without a warrant.

Then why have warrants at all?

I had a visit from the Zoning Officer last year, my land is deep and I own the private roads that go to it as well. This POS drives right pass me, I get in my van and follow him, he is driving all over my property, with out permission. I had no idea who this creep was, I phoned it into the cops and eventually he stopped and tried to talk to me, he said he was the zoning officer, I told him to get off my property, he said he didn’t have to, I told him to get off my property (again), he tried to explain to me that he had authority to be on my property anytime he wanted, I stopped him, I said no you don’t this property is properly posted and I don’t want you here, leave now. He left. He sent me a letter that I was in violation of many township codes, pure BS, and if I did not comply in 2 weeks I would face stiff fines and possible imprisonment. I sent it to my attorney.
Long story short, this government dweeb ends up giving up coming after me. He has other problems now, apparently he was going after the Jewish people in my town and singling them out over violations as well and now they are suing the township. This zoning officer, his department and township boards are also now under federal DOJ investigation for civil rights violations. So hopefully that stuff keeps him busy for a while.
