While false positives are a well documented result from drug tests, one detail that struck me as very odd in this story is the fact this dude was returning home to the US from Brazil with not one, not two, but three bottles of Shampoo in his luggage?

It's not uncommon to find a product on vacation, or from your home country that you like so much that you stock up on your return home.

I found an anti-dandruff shampoo in France that was marvelously effective but whose active ingredient isn't in any US anti-dandruff shampoos. I brought four bottles back. I don't need to use it very often to get the effect, shipping liquids is expensive, and I had spare room in my luggage.

OTOH, nobody is trying to smuggle cocaine from France to the US.

Why is it you find three bottles odd? People who think that way get others arrested in many walks of life by reporting a stranger acting funny.
