   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Arnold and McMillian, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal case - criminal law. Defendant consented to a search of his
   vehicle, and drugs found in auxiliary gas tank were admissible; assuming,
   arguendo, that certain of the prosecutor's comments in opening statement
   concerning defendant's flight after arrest were improper, the general fact
   of his flight was admissible, and the effect of these statements was
   minimal, especially in light of the strong evidence of defendant's guilt;
   the government's expert's testimony regarding defendant's "unknown
   courier" defense was admissible; case remanded for resentencing under
   Booker.
