bag search
Security screening procedure
A bag search is an inspection of someone's bag or belongings, typically conducted by security personnel at entrances to venues, airports, or public events.
The term usually implies a visual check or physical rummaging through contents rather than electronic scanning: There's a bag search at the gate, so leave extra time.
Random bag searches have become routine in subways and stadiums.
