The Federal constitutional right to protection from unreasonable search and seizure, as provided by the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution, applies only to government agents such as law enforcement officers. It does not apply to searches conducted by private individuals or employers. The USA Patriot Act has expanded certain powers of law enforcement agencies but has not eliminated this constitutional protection.
