05 Pulls to the right

My 05 Ex pulls to the right, hoping to get some good feedback from you guys.
I have a set of Cooper CTS tires with about 7k miles on them. When I bought the tires I had the shop do a full 4 wheel alignment, and I feel fairly confident they did a good job. I read somewhere on here that drifting to one side or the other could be also from a brake pad not retracting all the way. I did pull the wheel off the front right to check for anything unusual but didn't really see anything that alarmed me. But I have noticed that the right front wheel always has way more brake dust than the left does. I tried rotating the tires since it was time anyway, but the pull is still the same. No better but no worse. The pull does NOT get worse when I apply the brakes, and I don't see any obvious tire wear. Any ideas? I've thought about having the alignment done again.

could be a dragging caliper, that would explain the more brake dust thing,,
run for a bit, stop and see if it is warmer than the other side,

Sounds very plausible, if this is in fact the case,what is the best way to fix it? Would this require a new caliber or maybe just rebuilding it? Also, what kind of clearance should there be between the pad and the rotor?

Could be a tire pull, if the tires are not directional, swap em.
