Well, currently sure.

However, back when the constitution was amended the 5th amendment also applied to your own papers. (How is using something you wrote down not self-incrimination!?).

It only matters if one year in the future it is because all that back data becomes immediately allowed.

Papers were covered under the 4th amendment. It's always been the case that a warrant could let the government access your journal.
