This is for situations just like this. Though I don't agree to sacrifice freedoms for security (cough patriotact cough) I do believe that when it is drawn out in such a way that the person is willingly going to school and knows a possible search could occur, then no constitutional right has been infracted upon.
Again, just some thoughts...

No...you do not give yourself up to be searched. I would not let anyone at school search me unless they had probable cause, which they would never have. Schools push the limit when it comes to infringing on student's rights.

If the officer believes you are doing something illegal and has probable cause he can search you and/or your vehicle. If someone is in imminent danger, that is probable cause enough to search, meaning that the cop would not be breaking the fourth amendment. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to act against any of the amendments. There are a few exceptions, like felons who lose their rights when they are convicted.
