As far as a license goes, it doesn't matter what the Constitution says. All that matters is that some bureaucrat with a cherry picked lawyer redefined some other statute into a legal opinion that justifies limiting a right as being in the best interest of the government. It's sort of like how you have a Constitutional right to due process, except when the government decides you don't, and can drone kill you without due process because of some lawyers' redefinition or reinterpretation of the laws. Buy a license, be prepared to show your papers, and go fishing.

Someone wants to search the inside of my car, kayak, or anything else, they better damn well have a Warrant or some legitimate probable cause.

DFW wardens have more power than police. They do not need a warrant to search you or your vehicles.
