For this reason I do not think you should be allowed to walk away from the search.
That's not a good enough reason - I am never going to advocate reducing any rights over this terrorism nonsense.

Absent a warrant, you should have the right to withdraw permission for ANY search, administrative or not - but most definitely an administrative one.

Terrorists are going to get through whether we have lots of rights or no rights at all - one should not effect the other.
