In my case, I am pretty certain the dog was used as a ruse to find probable cause. After the dog did his thing, I heard the handler say the dog didn’t alert. But that wasn’t good enough, so the handler was ordered to have the dog search again. I didn’t hear the handler say anything this second time, so I asked if the dog now alerted. No one would answer my simple question, but they decided to search my bag anyway without my consent. That camera bag never had anything in it that would have been illegal in the year that I had owned it (and I had purchased it new).

Cooperation is no longer enough at these "suspicionless" checkpoints where everybody is treated with suspicion. Here a driver who answered 17/18 questions and provided a driver's license, military ID, and two passports was detained for 34 minutes and had his boss called during the encounter and weeks later had a letter sent from the Border Patrol to his boss.
Cooperation isn't even enough anymore.
