As others have said, "the Constitution is not a suicide pact." With the proviso that anyone can turn around and leave rather than undergo a random search, there is ZERO chance that these searches will be found unconstitutional in this situation.
My only hope is that the court, after dismissing the case, will go a step further and assess attorneys fees and costs against the ACLU for bringing a frivolous lawsuit. There is no excuse, either legal or practical, for this garbage. IMHO.

Of course, if these searches are unconstitional, I wonder how we got saddled with seatbelt laws, speed limits, any form of gun registration, etc.
