Yes. If you think their search is unreasonable, take action. I'm sure in some % of cases they are. In most I suspect they are reasonable.
Thank you for conceding that 'unreasonable searches' by merchants are actionable under our Constitution.
Your posts here are typical, for instance, of those who deny that the 2nd does not apply to merchants, -- that they can ban guns from employees & customers cars.
I'd welcome such cases and the clearing of the 'constitutional air' they would raise.
Me too.
-- Your anti-constitutional 'pro-merchant' position would be left with no legs to stand on.
Anti-Constitutional? Please.
You want merchants to have an unrestricted power to search? -- That's anti-constitutional.
Do they post a sign saying bags can be searched? Can you read the sign? If you disagree, shop elsewhere.
And if the merchant disagrees with limits, let him open shop elsewhere. Mexico & China beckon.
Or call the police and your lawyer when they stop you at the door. Please let us know how it all plays out.
Rest assured, you will be the first to know.
Never said that unreasonable searches weren't actionable. Asking, "Can I look in your bag?" doesn't sound unreasonable. Asking to perform a body cavity search would be. Of course they might find your head.

Does the store allow you to scream your religious beliefs in the store? If not, does that violate your 1st Amendment rights? Why can't you carry a firearm on an airplane? Does that violate your 2nd Amendment rights?
Go to a movie theater and yell fire, see how your 1st Amendment rights apply. Or an airport and yell bomb.
Both examples are criminal acts when there are no bombs or fires.
You're kidding, right? You mean free speech can be a crime? That violates my 1st Amendment rights.
Rest assured, you will be the first to know.
Constitutional scholars worldwide breathlessly await your Supreme Court date.
