TSA searches are legally deemed "administrative searches" and have passed 4th amendment muster.
They have not. No challenge to the new procedures has yet worked its way through the system to the point where an actual ruling has been made. Thanks for posting the propaganda though.
By the way, the ruling about administrative searches does not apply to drug screenings at airports. Can you tell me why the TSA suddenly thinks they have the authority to do that? Is it actually possible that you are wrong?
Wrong about what ?
Administrative searches.
From your post.
an administrative search, is valid under the Fourth Amendment if it is "no more intrusive or intensive than necessary, in light of current technology, to detect weapons or explosives, confined in good faith to that purpose," and passengers may avoid the search by electing not to fly.
This was not an administrative search, despite the TSA propaganda you linked to.

Administrative searches do not screen for drugs, and the TSA doing so makes that search illegal and unconstitutional.
