A search incident to arrest is universally correct. It is necessary for safety, inventory and to prevent contraband from being allowed in to a secure facility.

Clarification: Anytime AFTER your arrest but BEFORE you are confined in any type of detention (including holding facilities) you will undergo a full custodial search - which CAN include a body-cavity search.
