Answer to Question 1

In conducting a checkpoint, the administrative rationale is not acceptable if it is relied upon in order to detect evidence of criminal activity.

Answer to Question 2

Public school administrators and teachers may search a student without a warrant if they have reasonable suspicion that the action will yield evidence that the student has violated the law or is violating the law or rules of the school.
The reasonableness test for school disciplinary searches involves a twofold inquiry: First, one must consider whether the . . . action was justified at its inception . . . ' second, one must determine whether the search as actually conducted was reasonably related in scope to the circumstances which justified the interference in the first place.'
