How can you not interpret the Constitution in light of today's reality? Our level of technology alone demands it.
Here's what it says and in parentheses, what some have reinterpreted it to mean.
Free speech (except if somebody calls it "hate" speech)
Freedom of religion and expression thereof (unless somebody wants to force you to participate in activity your religion specifically prohibits or if someone feels offended by seeing symbols of it in the town square)
Freedom of association (unless somebody doesn't like your friends)
Freedom of the press (unless somebody doesn't agree with you)
You can have demonstrations to gripe about whatever's bugging you (as long as you have a permit)
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
A disciplined militia... Basically minutemen. Just regular old citizens who work together in a "regulated," or disciplined, manner and can come together at a moment's notice, fall into formation and function as a unit
...being necessary to the security of a free state... To keep government from becoming an overbearing monstrosity and taking over everybody's life like George III did...
...the rightof the people... you, me and everybody else who live under the authority of the US Constitution
...to keep and bear arms... to own and carry knives, guns and other weapons
...shall not be infringed. ...is not to be limited. Period.
(unless we don't like you or we think what you have is too scary...or if we don't think you "need" it.)
Soldiers can't take over your house if there's no war going on. (unless it's just the local guys on a stakeout)
If there is a war going on, well, we'll just make that up as we go. Yes, it actually says that.
Here's the cell phone mention:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects... The word "effects" covers anything that belongs to you. That would include cell phones. [Jeez, those guys were smart!]
The government and its thugs can't go through your stuff or take anything from you unless they have a warrant. (except if we think you're going to flush it down the toilet, if we think you maybe, might have acquired it through activities we don't like or if we just don't want you to have it and want it ourselves)
You're not required to tattle on yourself. (unless we say you have to...then you have to or we'll throw you in jail)
The government isn't allowed to take your property without compensation (unless we want it for our own purposes and can get the building inspector to say it's condemned)
You can't be tried twice for the same crime (unless we can get you charged in a State court and then a federal court)

That's just parts of One through Five. Do you really need me to point out how every single one of the Bill of Rights has been reinterpreted since the guys who wrote it made it pretty clear why they did? Technology does not make any difference as to what your rights are.
