There are signs all over the airport and announcements over the airport PA system all the time advising you of the possibility of screening, which gives you advanced notice and the opportunity to turn around and leave the property prior to any such screening. That is how TSA meets its obligation to “due diligence” under the administrative search doctrine.
What exactly am I consenting to?
