Understand that this was in a venue where the secret service was present and where a number of individuals were already caged. There is now a zone for a mile or so around the President where Amendments I, II, and IV cease to exist.
Personally, I think if it's a choice between restricting free speech, assembly, freedom from unreasonable search, etc, for thousands of citizens or confining one man to the White House, I'd go for the latter.
I'm especially annoyed when all of this happens during political events as opposed to events based on the actual job.
