BEAM, Circuit Judge.
Law enforcement officers detained Alvin Dixon and his luggage at the Kansas City airport so that “Mike” the drug dog could be summoned to sniff the luggage. Mike “alerted” to the luggage, and Dixon ultimately was charged with possession with intent to distribute phencyclidine (PCP). Dixon filed a motion to suppress, alleging several Fourth Amendment violations, but the district court 1 denied the motion. Dixon entered a conditional plea of guilty, was sentenced, and now appeals the ruling on the motion to suppress. We affirm.
