Scent of danger What do you think of TSA's $164,000-a-year bomb-sniffing dogs? If a dog busts even one person, it will be worth the $164,000 a year I'm stunned! Forget the costs, employing dogs to patrol airports is a bad idea because they offend Muslims Exposing dogs to potential bomb explosions is exploitive and immoral Clearly the TSA bomb-sniffing program needs more public funding to operate efficiently Given the level of spending in Washington, $164,000 a dog is a good deal TSA knows the dogs don't work. The dogs give them a pretext of probable cause to search people It doesn't matter if the dogs can't sniff out bombs and drugs, as long as the terrorists and smugglers think they can I'd prefer it if they hired bomb-sniffing hamsters. They'll be just as effective and cost less If they were the most effective dogs in the world, they wouldn't be worth $164,000 a year No matter how ineffective they are, the dogs probably cost less and do a better job than TSA agents What a waste! Americans aren't getting their money's worth if expensive bomb-sniffing dogs can't detect bombs What do you expect from the TSA? The whole TSA should be abolished Homeland Security, which employs the TSA and the bomb-sniffing dogs, should be abolished Other View Results Loading ...
