In order to counter the pernicious threat of, who knows, perhaps coolers of beer, Boulder's rangers and police warn that all bags are subject to search, warrants be damned.

Boing Boing reports

When I was in Boulder, CO last week I went for a walk in a city-owned "greenbelt" hiking trail. I saw this sign that read, "All bags and coolers subject to search. City of Boulder Rangers and Police Officers will be patrolling this area."

Are the police allowed to search your bags in a public park without a warrant? (I saw no police officers or rangers while hiking that day; in fact I saw no other hikers either.)
