What is the test for obtaining a warrant to search a suspect package at San Francisco International Airport?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Coston, 221 Cal.App.3d 898, 271 Cal.Rptr. 25 (Cal. App. 1990):

Citing People v. Leichty (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 914, 252 Cal.Rptr. 669, appellants next argue that even if the official action to this point was not unlawful, no further scientific examination of the apparently illicit powder they had sought to conceal should have been performed without the benefit of some type of warrant. In Leichty, it was held to be entirely proper for airport employees to seize and search a suspect package and even for a narcotics officer to perform a field test of its contents.
