4th Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,
papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,
shall not be violated; and no warrants shall issue, but upon
probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and
particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons
or things to be seized.

Keeping bombs off trains is a good way to make people secure in their persons, not that random screening are the most effective way.

The answer will be if you don't want to be searched there's the exit and enjoy finding an alternative way to your destination.

I'll take passive screening by a mechanical device any day over the TSA agent wedging fingers between your leg and a private part.

I personally enjoy those sweet, intimate interactions with an agent of my government. Makes me feel wanted and beautiful.

Sniffing for explosives in a public area has long passed Constitutional muster as a reasonable search. This like many Constitutional rights such as freedom of speech, are not absolute, but rather are limited rights for very rational and valid reasons.
