Well, seeing as how it is for a good cause...

Most sniffer dogs are taught a silent signal when they 'hit' on something, usually sit, spin a circle, or the like. Barking usually sets off the perp, who'll try to run, so the handlers actually prefer the dogs not make a big fuss so the police can contain the criminals with less fuss.

<grins> I've had this occasionally, when a cruise ship is in port the drug dogs go on board - One fine day I'm wandering down the corridor, towing my suitcase, when a chap with a High Vis Jacket and a Spaniel comes the other way. As the spaniel ran up to greet me and say hello I said to his handler 'That can't be good!' He waved it away and said if the dog sat and looked at me, THEN I should worry...

I had that happen at Hamburg Airport a few years ago. I had come back from Amsterdam. I had just carry-on luggage and was asked to follow the customs officer. I could honestly say no to the question: "Do you carry any illegal drugs?" and I hadn't left my luggage unattended either. They found nothing. Turned out the t-shirt (cute real tie-dye) I had bought at a coffeeshop made the dog think I had some dope. You can smoke and buy marijuana legally at those shops and the smoke got into the shirt. Ooops. Lesson learned.
