I just can't understand why people always believe that limits on the government should apply to private entities.

This applies typically to First Amendment rights ("Why did they censor my forum post? Haven't they heard of the Firsy Amendment?").

It's only illegal if a government law enforcement person does it. The store can do what it wishes with regard to such things.

The store can do what it wishes to a point.
It can certainly request to search your items, but I'm unsure it can do much if you refuse.

Craig, we are all 'limited' by our Constitutional laws, and we are all bound to support & defend its basic principles.

As Antiguv mentioned, the store cannot do an illegal search. All they can do is call the police, who can do a search as warranted.

You could sue a store for an illegal search, -- and they know it.
