Thing is, these aren't Big Gummint drones, these are private or business drones. The constitution doesn't say dick about them, just as there's nothing in there about Big Business data-mining and selling your information.

Off topic but a story I love: Before WWII David Niven was invited to a country hunt at some wealthy minor royal's estate. This was still when they had messenger pigeons. His host had shot one of those pigeons rather than the expected grouse and all the guests had gathered around it, not saying anything. Niven walks up and asks "Are there any letters for me?". He said he was never invited back.
