If we continue on that logic we shouldn't be concerned if police want to search your car. Or your home. Or your personal self and possessions. If you are not doing anythin ilegal then no worries right?
In fact, wouldn't it be a little suspicious that you might be resistant to a search? Isn't that an indicator of potential guilt?
I have definitely heard law enforcement use this rationalization. Is this basically what you and others are saying?

Law enforcement officials can "rationalize" all they want, but I would protest any routine search based on principle and the 4th amendment. Then again, who gives a damn about the bill of rights, especially when it comes to current drug law/policy. The innocent have no obligation to prove their innocence by allowing a search. Of course, the there is little 4th amendment protection for these students.
