Do we need an explicit privacy Constitutional Amendment? [View all]

Since the courts have ruled that even communications handed to a third party are not covered by the 4th and we rely on wiretap laws for that, do we need an explicit enumeration of the right to privacy in our communications?

I'm beginning to think we do, but I wonder how much support there would be for such a thing.

What would it look like? Should it also cover tracking people? It would need to be generic enough so that technology can't worm around it.
