    Eanna O'Cochlain was charged with illegal possession of marijuana after two rolled sticks of dried marijuana leaves were found during a routine security pat down at an airport checkpoint. The Supreme Court ruled that the warrantless search was constitutionally reasonable and an exception to the warrant requirement, as airport security screenings are allowed under aviation rules to maintain safety and security. Eanna's plane ticket also contained a provision allowing for such screening of his person and belongings.

    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES VS.

    EANNA O’COCHLAIN

    G.R. NO. 229071, DECEMBER 10, 2018

    FACTS:

    In the final security checkpoint inside the Laog City International Airport, the Security Screening
    Officer was instructed to conduct a pat down search on Eanna, who agreed. Eanna was frisked while
    he raised his hands by stretching sideward to the level of his shoulders with palms open. Two rolled
    sticks of what appeared to be dried marijuana leaves was seized from his possession. Eanna O’Cochlain
    was charged with illegal possession of marijuana under Section 11, Article II of R.A. 9165 or The
    Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

    ISSUE:

    Whether or not the search and seizure of an illegal drug during a routine airport inspection is a
    cons titutionally reasonable administrative search ?

    RULING:

    YES.  The search upon his person was not unreasonable but was actually an exception to the
    proscription against warrantless searches and seizures. It was justified as it proceeded from a duty or
    right that was enforced in accordance with the aviation rules and regulations to maintain peace, order
    and security at the airports. In fact, Eanna's plane ticket carried a proviso allowing airport authorities to
    check on his person and baggage pursuant to the requirement of Section 9 of R.A. No. 6235.
