But when you buy a boat, a car or house you create a public record.
How much less private can you get?
You can bet the airlines are now scanning passenger transaction patterns looking for anything suspicious.
Is this wrong? Is it wrong if the govt requires that airlines do this?
Is it public safety or an invasion of privacy?
The 4th Amendment (which is WHAT YOU QUOTED) does not promise anonymity.

Your statement is correct,
but the assumption derived from the statement is wrong.
Yes, a purchase creates a public record.
It does not, however, create a public need
for you to justify your right to make the purchase.
Being seen in public with your girlfriend
does not create a need to air
all the details of your relationship.
It's none of your business.
