When you drive into a parking lot in your personal vehicle, does the right to control the interior of your personal vehicle automatically transfer from you to the parking lot owner who has no vested interest in your personal property which remains inside the body of your personal vehicle?
Depending on the workplace rules in effect where you work you vehicle may be subject to search by the company or its chosen representative at the time. You can refuse the search but will probably be terminated.
Everyone needs to read the rules where they work.

Question still wasn't answered.

Just because its "the rules" or "the law" doesn't make it right.

Why should an employer be allowed to search the interior of my privately-owned vehicle?

For that matter, why should they be allowed to search your facebook or twitter accounts? What does that have to do with your employment contract to provide services in exchange for compensation? Too many people think it's their right to know everything about everything everyone else does these days. :(

They shouldn't!!

Agreed !! Now what are we going to do about it ?

Oh yeah, Facebook and Twitter are the devil's handiwork !!

Agreed - But why would anyone work somewhere that requires these things?

I would simply refuse to work somewhere that had all of these requirements.

Depends on how bad you need the income. May be a good stop gap measure while the search continues.

It's just that a lot of these arguments remind me of the liberal arguments as to why employers should have to provide insurance that covers birth control.

I think it's stupid that an employer would limit guns in cars, and even worse that one would search cars, but it is private property and no one is forcing you to work for any of these places.

If its public access, that's your fault.

If it requires a password and they request a disclosure and you disclose your password, you will commit a federal crime by violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by allowing access to your account outside the Terms of Service that you agreed to when you signed up. And then there is the potential additional risk of employment-law litigation assumed by the employer.

Yep, but refuse to open the electronic door for the HR person during the interview and you're done. What if your cupboard is bare and your power is about to be turned off? Are you going to stand on principle, or cave so you can feed and shelter your family? In the completely terrible economy we've had the past 4-5 years, this is a real concern.
