The key is the word "unreasonable". It does not state "absolute". Again, you would be leaving their property, maybe with some of their property. If you know their rules, then to me their searching your bags could be construed as "reasonable". If you don't think it's reasonable for your bags to be searched, be reasonable by exercising your rights to shop someplace else.

I think there might also be the right of the shopkeeper to be secure in his effects against seizure from a thief. If people can hide stolen merchandise without risk of being caught, then his/her fourth amendment rights are violated. It seems to me that searching the packages of those who leave the premises is a reasonable balance between the fourth amendment rights of both parties.

Real Cynic No More #133: by exercising your rights to shop someplace else

There’s a right to shop someplace-elsewhere?

A lot of posts on this thread (including yours?) seem to support the position that we can be declared PNG for refusing a search, for any other reason or for no reason and face trespassing charges if we don’t leave when told to or if we come back when told not to.

That position doesn’t seem to allow for a right to shop someplace-elsewhere or anywhere at all. That position indicates we have no right but are only at liberty to shop someplace-elsewhere or (anywhere) if allowed to.
