What property am I "renting" when I use my cellphone? The cell towers and signals?

Maybe, but that's kinda like saying it's OK for my landlord (and the govt) to put a mic & camera in my apartment just because I'm only a renter.

So, for example, if you rent an apartment you have no right to personal privacy? Bullshit.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no "right to privacy".
Due to a some supreme court decisions and creative arguments, we have some precedent to rely on and probably a few laws on the books but there is nothing in the constitution or bill of rights that grants everyone a right to privacy.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Certain rights are in abeyance when you're in military service, for obvious reasons. Would you like to come up with another exception?
