Officers need articulable facts for reasonable suspicion. Not consenting to a search is explicitly not grounds for reasonable suspicion here or in any other context

>Cotterman's previous conviction justified a search
...and there you have it: He's done something wrong in the past, so - of course - he must be doing something bad now - forever and always!
(In Cotterman, it sounds like the Ninth Circuit said reasonable suspicion was required, but also decided on its own - despite it not being argued by the government - that an alert from a CBP database about Cotterman's previous conviction justified a search. Which seems reasonable to me, as a layperson, I thin.)
