These two options are not the same.
I can guarantee you that just randomly selecting people or vehicles out of a line up and having the dogs search them would be less resultant than having a customs officer send in people based on indicators and having the dogs search them. It is a combination of both.
Are you really saying that a random referal rate would result in more seizures than having the officers refer based on indicators?
