We don't search private planes, after all...
Commercial airlines are common carriers and as such are held to higher legal standards.

Perhaps you may want to review the Bill of Rights including Amendment X that states, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Rights are not granted by the government to the people. The people grant the rights to the government. But that concept is too often buried and forgotten in the analysis of issues.
