Kristy Marsillo, D.O. v. Robin Dunnick, Individually, and as Next Friend to Raynee Dunnick, and Dana Dunnick

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding notice central to upholding the constitutionality of airport searches where large signs had been posted near the boarding gates warning: “PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE SUBJECT TO SEARCH”
  • noting difficulty to fit airport searches, including the use of magnetometers, into recognized exceptions to the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement
  • “The search of carry-on baggage, applied to everyone, involves not the slightest stigma. More than a million Americans subject themselves to it daily ....”
  • suspicion-based searches of airline passengers unworkable where profile-method of detection is unreliable
  • “The point is ... that in order to bring itself within the test of reasonableness applicable to airport searches, the Government must give the citizen fair warning, before he enters the area of search, that he is at liberty to proceed no farther.”
  • noting general concerns over but no finding of pretextual search
