I was told by a dog handler for Correctional Service Canada that something like 80% of the $20 bills in circulation have traces of cocaine on them. During a public display of his dog's drug sniffing capabilities, the dog walked right up the Warden and indicated the Warden was hot ... turned out to be his wallet. So while these dogs are indeed good, a positive ID of the presence of drugs by the dog still doesn't necessarily mean a person is guility of using or carrying drugs.

Are you sure of this? I've heard otherwise from people who've had their vehicles damaged during a search that found nothing. Maybe they weren't aware of their legal recourse, but they were told tough luck by the border workers.
