If these "searches" are non-intrusive, then what is the point? As if, for example, a Pineapple couldn't be run out of a backpack? Paper bag? Drawer? Where do they draw the line.
Also, what do they do if they find "objectionable" material and it's flagged by the Teams channel? Can they really, legally go around confiscating soldering irons?
