AND, IIRC, from the dark ages of my employment back in retail, the only way 
that anyone from a business can search you for something that may be stolen 
is if they know precisely what you have and where it is (pocket, orifice, 
etc.)
It's like a search warrant, if the cops have a search warrant for 50lbs of 
pot, and they find a bunch of illegal firearms in your house as well, they 
don't count. Warrants are specific that way...
