Okay, so why do you think this is a violation of the 4th Amendment? Inquiring minds want to know...:)

I feel that the monitoring of private transactions represents an unreasonable search without naming the specific thing to be searched for.

IOW, the purpose of the 4th was to guarantee that citizens would not be surveilled until they had become suspect of criminal activity, pursuant to the approval of an independent judge.

This action essentially presumes ALL citizens to be suspects of criminal activity.
