On a warrant-less search, the only way your fourth amendment rights can be waved is if you agree to a consensual search. There are other exceptions to warrant-less searches, but the waiver would be the one that would apply in this matter. If you do not make it very CLEAR that you consent, then the search will not legally occur. Most agency's actually use a written consent form for matters like this.
