Yes they absolutely can search your person - they'll do a pat-down and anything "hard", i.e. plastic, metal, etc can be removed. It's justified at any roadside stop on the basis of "officer safety". I.e., you might have a knife. It would actually be much, much harder for them to justify a search of, say, your glove box than a search of you!
