There's a difference in the way people see this here in Europe, because here a "probable cause" is not needed for searching for drugs. Particularly at the border controls, everyone is subject to searches. (Same applies for e.g. DUI testing on the roads; the police has the right to take alcohol test of any driver, without anyone looking like they're driving badly.) Any arbitrary seizure, if only based on dog indication, is of course a horrible miscarriage of justice. |

DUI testing is different. In many jurisdictions you do not have to submit to it, if you are fine with losing your driving privileges - which is not a criminal penalty.
I'm not super pleased about it, but there is typically a clear line - some voluntary behavior voids your liberties. Involuntary behavior generally should not.
