Well the statute can't trump the Constitution. It isn't clear whether the 4th Amendment requires a warrant even if statute does not. This is something that the courts will have to work out. There are however many authorities on 4th Amendment law including many I would not describe as civil libertarians who do think that current precedent suggests that a warrant in fact would be required.
