"Isn't that sorta normal?"

Sure. And I'm sure the Illinois State Police see it all the time.

It's obvious his nervousness was noteworthy.

Or, the Illinois State troopers were lying. Is that what you're alluding to?

Noteworthy to the cop, yes, but irrelevant to the Court's opinion.

The question on which we granted certiorari is narrow: “Whether the Fourth Amendment requires reasonable, articulable suspicion to justify using a drug-detection dog to sniff a vehicle during a legitimate traffic stop.” Thus, we proceed on the assumption that the officer conducting the dog sniff had no information about respondent except that he had been stopped for speeding; accordingly, we have omitted any reference to facts about respondent that might have triggered a modicum of suspicion.

What? Cops lying to avoid a "technicality", and thus to secure a conviction of a truly guilty person? Heaven forfend! That would NEVER happen!
