Well, it is private property, and they can do that. But they aren't law enforcement. When the cops search you on the bus or train for no reason in DC, they are doing it for security and are looking for explosives. But if they find drugs, you are going to jail for that. If a security guy looks in your bag as you are leaving a store and sees a baggie of weed, I don't think he has the authority to detain you for that.
