Not in this case there isn't. You showing up at the airport and going through security is implied consent to the search, just like opening the door to them without explicitly denying consent is enough for police to legally enter your house.

Anyone who wants to know what I consent to has to ask me.

That's another example of where the US fails on human rights.
