"...a dark dessert highway..."

What's it made of, chocolate mousse?

The dog didn't climb into the trunk to search it, it merely sniffed around the outside collecting the scents that were in the air. In the same way that a police officer can observe contraband that is in "plain sight", can't a dog do the same to something that is in "plain scent".

In any case it's a strech to try and apply this to packet sniffing.
