Of course, what we are arguing is whether the government, represented by police, is able to search your "effects" without justifiable cause.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this case. The dog wasn't searching the car was it? Both dog and cop were simply sniffing the air in close proximity to the speeder, correct?

A good question, but a large amount of bacon in his trunk would have probably had the same effect. The fulcrum here is probable cause, not dogs (and cops) sniffing air. When a guy is stopped on a warning charge, give him a a warning. If there is probable cause, nail him. If there isn't, don't call in the doggies. Meat on the seat will cause an illegal search.
