I will do that, although I'm not sure that's correct. Everything I've read says, "search" which seems to imply of baggage and person. The meth was in his pocket, after all.
As noted, Aukai is a 9th circuit decision. However, the decision does not explicitly support the genital searches and highly invasive searches being done now and it is clearly quite a different thing to having your jacket pocket searched to have your labia felt over on insufficient grounds for such a search (random searches and searches due to provably defective machinery). Clearly the TSA is reluctant to test these things in court as shown by their determination to keep cases from being tried on this issue by black-holing them, each and every one, in the appeals court.
