Re: illegal search
It depends on what the officer reported as to how the dog reacted....if the dog reacted to something very near to the suitcase, the search may be justified, but under most circumstances he would need a search warrant to get into the suitcase.
There are a lot of issues here that were indicated in your question that need to be resolved before you can rely on this answer.
Call me directly if you wish. I would be glad to help sort this out.
