Depends on the reason for the search whether or not the police would need a warrant.
As for the TSA, when you submit yourself or your belongings for screener you are giving implied consent and temporarily suspending yoru 4th amendment right - it would be interesting to figure out to what degree that consent allows a TSO to search an individual.
Would a strip search be allowed? Current rules state that a person would be denied boarding and told to come back, and that under no circumstances should a strip search be performed...

I'm not talking Customs, Immigration, or the like. I'm talking a routine, run-of-the-mill, airport checkpoint.

.But as to reading the contents of a wallet, that's just sheer abuse. Unless of course an "officer" knows different.

and/or the cards themselves filed down to a sharp edge.
Whether this ever actually occurred or is just another TSA urban legend, I couldn't say

Explain to me one or two good reasons that a detailed search of a passengers wallet and personal papers within might be warranted at an airport checkpoint. You can't hide a weapon or any of the published forms of contraband in there. Or computer files, for that matter.

They should both be ignored.
