If you are an inspector checking something related to aviation, you might find evidence that someone is not following the rules. You do not need to get a special paper called a search warrant to keep looking, as long as you found this evidence while you were already checking something under section 284 or 285. This means you can keep exercising your powers under section 284 or 285 without getting a search warrant under section 288.
