Airport & Border Searches is the focused mini course that breaks down the two specialized warrant exceptions that govern searches at airports and at the border. Built for officers who work cases involving airport security discoveries or border-area investigations, the course covers both doctrines with their distinct legal frameworks.
The course is organized around two lessons. The administrative search doctrine for airport security, including the consent-by-entry framework and the limits of the doctrine when contraband or evidence is discovered. And the border search exception, including the routine-versus-non-routine distinction, functional equivalents, and the leading-edge issues around electronic devices.
After completing this course, you will be able to handle airport security discoveries and border-area cases the right way, recognize when each doctrine applies and when it ends, and articulate the legal basis for every search conducted under these specialized authorities.
