73. No, you've made no progress
And have no intention of learning, it appears. You said you saw no where that the Fourth Amendment allowed such searches, and refuse to learn that it does allow such searches. You fail to see because you have not looked into it.


"As demonstrated throughout this article, determining reasonableness is the crux of the Fourth Amendment search issue. In 1973, the Fifth Circuit decided that some situations present a level of danger such that the reasonableness test is per se satisfied.81
Lee Skipwith III was convicted of cocaine possession after an airport screening search revealed drugs, but not weapons.82 In United States v. Skipwith, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the Middle District of Florida, holding that the search was constitutional.83 The Court found that a balance must be struck between the harm and the need to determine what is reasonable.84 “When the risk is the jeopardy to hundreds of human lives and millions of dollars of property inherent in the pirating or blowing up of a large airplane, the danger alone meets the test of reasonableness.”85"
