suitcase then they can either x-ray it or get a warrant to open it. You won't get on your flight but it is legally what they would have to do. The example given to me by my Law Prof was this true story: Policeman chased a drug dealer into his home and tackled him as he ran down the hallway to his bedroom. The policeman ran by a locked and deadbolted door and had to get a warrant to enter that room because the door was A) locked and B) closed and therefore had no bearing on the case as it sat. They had probable cause and entered the room AFTER getting a warrant and found nothing. They then brought a drug dog in and the dog went ape around the doorway...near a lightswitch in the hall next to the door... the policeman unscrewed the lightswitch plate and found a string with bags of coke attached to it hung inside the wall from the lightswitch. The ONLY reason the evidence was allowed in court was because the SMART cop had gotten TWO warrants. One to search the ENTIRE house and premisis and one to search the locked room. Without that second warrant to search the entire house the drug find would have been tossed because something behind the light switch plate was "not in plain sight."
