Aerojet-General Corp. v. American Arbitration Association

Appellant was convicted of attempting to board an aircraft while carrying a concealed weapon (49 U.S.C. § 1472 (l)). The conviction was based upon the discovery of a loaded revolver in appellants briefcase by a Trans World Airlines employee during a search of the carry-on luggage of boarding passengers. Appellants motion to suppress was denied on the grounds that he "impliedly consented" to the search and that, in any event, "there was no governmental involvement."
