Use of a metal detector to enter a building does not limit consent to just that. If it alerts, there is implied consent to a further search. Otherwise, don’t try to go in. Here, defendant was trying to carry drugs into a homeless shelter, and the metal detector went off. Here, it all ripened to reasonable suspicion. People v. Hurt, 2012 NY Slip Op 02408, 2012 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2333 (1st Dept. March 29, 2012):

We reject defendant's argument that his implied consent was limited to the magnetometer search. When a person sets off a magnetometer by passing through it, the person can reasonably expect that security personnel will not permit entry into the restricted premises without taking whatever measures are necessary to find out what triggered the magnetometer. Otherwise, the magnetometer would have little value.

Since defendant never abandoned his attempt to enter the shelter, he implicitly consented to an expanded search. Defendant was free to cut off the search by turning around and walking out. The officer did nothing to suggest otherwise, and defendant never indicated that he no longer wished to enter.
