I flip back and forth on the whole 'consent to a search' thing. On one hand, I agree that it's important to not blindly comply to everything to the point that it's like a police state, but on the other hand I don't generally have time to sit there and argue with a cop, or make myself look more suspicious, and it's easier to just let them quickly find nothing and be on my way.
Never been in the situation though so it's hard to say what I'd do
