Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the notices and foreknowledge of passengers are relevant to the reasonableness of the search [under the administrative search exception], they do not make this, or any other hijacking search, a consent search. "Consent to a search, in order to be voluntary, must be unequivocal, specific and intelligently given, uncontaminated by any duress and coercion...." It is clear that Salit did not expressly consent to the search of [his] garment bag in the way that person who says, "Officer, you may search my home," consents to a search. [T]he mere fact that persons are on notice that they may be searched cannot, by itself, be the basis for [inferring] consent, [for this would] "mean that any kind of governmental intrusion is permissible if it has occurred often enough."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Schaffer v. State“The State ... suggests that the initial opening of the [airline passenger's] handbag, and therefore the discovery of the [drug] paraphernalia, was not state action because [the airport security agents] are employees of a private corporation. [This claim] is without merit. Every court that has examined the screening program has [deemed it to be] state action. Screening of carry-on luggage is required by law.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Schaffer v. State“no basis for believing that [the officer's] question was for the purpose of eliciting an incriminating statement. He did not know the contents of the bag, and it was logical to make the inquiry so that Salit could have the bag taken with him to the first aid room. We do not believe that this single inquiry constituted interrogation.”
