But the Fed Gov't doesn't own the airlines... yet.
the Feds position themselves between a private purchase of a ticket from a private company and our boarding the a privately owned plane. The 4th does Apply. The same as, if not moreso, than the case of riding a cab or boarding a city bus. A cop or federal agent can't LEGALLY stop and frisk you before you board a bus or get into a cab without probable cause.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
