Reasonable suspicion is a standard used in criminal procedure. It can justify less-intrusive searches. For example, a reasonable suspicion justifies a stop and frisk, but not a full search. A reasonable suspicion exists when a reasonable person would, based upon specific facts, suspect that a crime has been committed.

The President, however, would not be a reasonable subject as he was at the White House at the time, about 4 states away.
