"... the search ... was considered valid ... with routine security measures in ports"

On the other hand, there are reasonable searches because of heightened security. 

In Dela Cruz v. People,[172] the search conducted on the accused was considered valid because it was done in accordance with routine security measures in ports.[173] This case, however, should not be construed to apply to border searches. Border searches are not unreasonable per se;[174] there is a "reasonable reduced expectation of privacy" when travellers pass through or stop at airports or other ports of travel.[175]
