Supreme Court hears case on drug-sniffing dogs' role in searches

Hmmm... The Supreme Court looks to do damage to the Fourth Amendment as well. While they make the argument that dogs sniffing luggage at airports is OK, I don't think it is. Besides, the main difference between airports and hiways is that the dogs are sniffing to protect the safety of the passengers on the plane - hiway stops have no such wide ranging public benefit (of course, if you believe drugs are a moral crime, then you won't believe that either).
