airport searches  

Definition(s)

  • One of the most ubiquitous places where warrantless searches take place in the United States is in airports. Commercial air passengers are not able to enter a plane without going through a metal detector or other device and are often subject to further search by wand or pat-down should the alarms be tripped.
