• noting that the voluntariness of consent must be evaluated and being under arrest “or even handcuffed, does not as a matter of law require a finding of coercion”
• finding valid consent to search even where defendant was under arrest, handcuffed, and not told of his right to refuse consent
• finding Santana inapplicable where apartment door was opened halfway in response to DEA agents’ demand, and defendant was not exposed to public view as if outside
• for narcotics traffickers, possession of firearms is as common as possession of drug paraphernalia
• consent invalid where agents displayed weapons and kicked the door
