3. police search, carried out by cops, in the usual Terry stop / incident to arrest / consensual trichotomy that applies outside of airports
Is there something else?
Your number one is not correct. Law Enforcement will not be performing a administrative search beyond the checkpoint. Law Enforcement still requires at least reasonable suspicion to conduct a search unless one of the recognized exceptions exist at the time.
