And the answer to your question about a legal defense depends and more info than you provided.
Technically illegal? I would bet more times than not.

Any search that was caused by ID or lack thereof would be illegal. Any search that was initiated without alarm would be illegal. Any search that was initiated because the TSO saw something on the x-ray that it was known the object was not a WEI would be illegal. Any search that continued after the alarm was cleared would be illegal.
