Give me a TINY fraction of the TSA's budget and I could make airport security FUN, fast and MUCH more accurate. A well trained dog or pig's nose is almost impossible to fool. :)
Ya know, it would be good for the airlines business too...a win win all around.
Sounds like a good idea to start spreading around, lord knows there are too many dogs being dumped these days.....

I remember my first plane trip, to Hawaii from Canada. I'd brought an apple for the flight, but didn't eat it. When I arrived in Hawaii and was waiting for my baggage, I cute little dog came up to me and sat down. The two people with the dog asked me if I had any food. I showed them the apple, they explained why I couldn't bring it into the country, and took it away. I was young, and the whole incident was fear-free for me. AND fun. For a kid, having a cute doggie "sniffing you out" was just that. Less humans and more animals = more humane. ;)

This is what drug dogs can do...and from what I've read, explosives have an even stronger scent to our fine 4 legged friends
They found drug RESIDUE on money "inside a false wall and sealed by compressed air were three vacuum-packed bundles of cash totaling more than $100,000."
Not even drugs...just the residue on the money.

Pigs can actually do even better, but the cops perceive an image problem with using them. :P

Yep, and remember, it was bomb-sniffing dogs that found bomb residue in the van of the Israelis caught filming and high-fiving at the WTC on 9/11. Maybe some of the higher ups, thought, "Hmmm, better change coarse here!"

Flying back from Europe we came through Atlanta - they had a very cute beagle sniffing luggage at the baggage claim. A woman had a banana in her bag and the dog just sat down. No reasonable reason why they can't use dogs or pigs.
I wouldn't be surprised with how the msm media is covering the TSA thing and starting to talk about how Israel's system works so well - that TSA gets dumped and and an Israeli company gets hired to do security.

Although slightly off the Israel topic but in keeping with facebook, I told my wife about this and after she also said that facebook 'groups' are dangerous because you can become involved in a group based on its 'title' and at any time the authors can change the title to something else completely, and wham all of a sudden your part of a group you don't know or would normally have nothing to do with.
It's a really good point and the fact that sniffer dogs AREN'T used more extensively, even though it has so many advantages over manpower/technology, speaks volumes about the real reasons behind this enhanced security. Dogs don't sell for quite as much as those scanners now, do they?

I watched a segment on Working Dogs one day and it was about the "Beagle Brigade" (they looked so cute walking into the airport with their little coats on). They said that beagles have really good noses for sniffing out things, but the beagles only really wanted to sniff out FOOD. :D So that is what they are used for at the airports. They are so cute.
Guardian, I agree that dogs and pot bellied pigs are so much more appealing than the normal "pigs" at the airport, and they do a better job, but I'm afraid that this is not on the agenda of those in control. :( They are pushing for something much less cute and effective. They are pushing for control, so anything that could actually help keep airports safe is out. They want us afraid and hysteric so that they can control us better.

Perhaps when there is a will, there is a way?
I wonder what would happen if males
could wear a protective athletic cup to
ward off molestation, or is that allowed?
If so, would the TSA force you to drop your
pants?
Perhaps another method would be to
slather limburger cheese or "horse hockey"
all over one's self in hopes that the TSA would
not linger around long enough and quickly let
you pass?
There has got to be some innovative ideas
to keep the TSA gropers away?
Just wondering :P

Speaking of that, I saw a clip on Shepard Smith's show tonight about what some males may be doing. A young male passenger used his camera phone and actually recorded himself stripping down to what was called "his speedos" for his pat down. Imagine the 'possible' embarrassment of a TSA officer being seen actually fondling the guy's 'junk' in full view of the flying public (and any video recorders present).
At any rate, the MSM is downplaying any effect of the 'opt-out day' on the airlines business. But that's OK. The opt-out day was organized for the flying public, but, in general, most of the individuals I've seen, who are actually ticked off about all this, have stated the intention to stop flying after the holidays, not just opt-out.
That's when I'm actually waiting to see if there is going to be any backlash against the airlines for the TSA abuses and porno-screening machines.

Yup, they're adorable, VERY efficient, and having laws against transporting certain foods, especially fruits, from region to region makes good sense considering all the fungi, bugs, diseases, etc. floating around.
I know....but what if they had to publicly explain WHY they don't use dogs to VERY angry people standing in line waiting to be groped...day after day? There is massive resistance to the porn scanners and groping, but people are buying the "we want to be safe from terrorists" line because they seem to believe that there is no other way to keep the mostly imaginary explosives off the planes. I've not seen dogs even mentioned as an alternative anywhere in the msm?
Frankly, I'm MUCH more concerned about a foreign beetle in someone's banana getting into our orchards, but if the masses need a sense of security due to all the "terrorist" programing....why not give it to them, in the form of cute animals? At least plant the idea, water it a bit, and see if it grows?
Creating awareness about a problem is not enough...people need a viable solution to rally around....and it never hurts if the solution is cute and cuddly.
I've got an idea that been chasing itself around my head for a couple weeks now. It's kinda large for me...waaaaayyyyy bigger than my usual regional/community type actions, but as angry as fliers are going to be after this holiday season, it just might work.
Ya think even a small group of people protesting with creative signs, pigs and pups ... just outside the entrance to a national airport would get some media attention? Of course I'd have to all the usual background and lead-up stuff.. website, permits, maybe a billboard or two...those worked REAL well.
The TSA has based their entire defense of these HORRIBLE violations of human dignity on one thing, and one thing only...the "need for security" We could publicly PROVE that dogs and pigs can do a better job at providing that security right outside their front gates.
There are thousands of people already on the TWA protest pages....I bet I could get quite a few of them to help? The guy who made the scanners has enemies too... I have no idea who they are yet, but I could find out and there's our political sponsors.
It would take a LOT of work...but it is a double hitter, we get to help people and critters at the same time. I know it's a long shot, but practically everything I do is...so why should that stop me from trying?
We need some slogans... :P
I prefer to have the 4 legged pig sniff my junk.
Airport security needs to go to the dogs.....it would be a great improvement.
When a TSA Agent rubs against your crouch and starts to pant and wiggle, it's sexual assault. When a TSA dog does it, it's "Hi, nice to met ya."
We don't have to trade our dignity for safety, 'cause Creator gave us dogs.
Your child can't get skin cancer from petting a puppy.
...any suggestions?
