They are only consensual in that, "If you don't want to be searched, you don't get to do the thing that you wanted to do."
But no, the criterion really is reasonableness, and not consent. If you're arrested, your person WILL be searched. They WILL NOT need a warrant. And nobody will care whether or not you consented to this. Because it is reasonable to search a prisoner for weapons, lockpicks, and other ways that the prisoner might try to contest imprisonment.
