Search and Siesure

I went to Target this eve to browse and perchance procure some luxury items (toys, a hat, whatever caught my fancy). Upon completion of my purchases and as I was exiting the store, the security guard asked to see my receipt. I told him no, that my receipt was in my purse, and then I walked out.

Why you ask?

Rude, you say?

Simple. The moment I paid for those items, they became MY items. Mine. As in my PERSONAL property. Why on earth would I just hand my stuff over to be peered at and poke through, without due process? Doesn't the Consititution give us the protection against unlawful 'Search and Seizure' of our property?
