No, when one buys a plane ticket one uses legal tender to contract a service (transport from here to there). The searches are not conducted by the airlines, but rather by the give an entity you are never supposed to be forced to surrender your rights to. However we live in no mans land now where the constitution is a piece of parchment and not the supreme law of the land.

Now back on target.

Well it kind of depends on when and how they use such a device. If it's located on random street corners then yes I would hope the courts call it unconstitutional. On the other hand if it's located in places we would expect a search and are warned about it then whats the problem?

I disagree. I shouldn't expect to be searched anywhere I go or wish to go. Why should I be searched if I get on a plane to go to Cali? Why should I be searched if I take a train, etc.. I am a law abiding citizen and should not EXPECT to be searched at all.
