Remember, this terrorist boarded in Amsterdam. None the less, a reasonable question about dog use in airport. See this link:

The dog catches a bug and eats it around the 2 minute mark!
It's probably cheaper than installing high tech scanners in airports, and able to adapt to a variety of situations.

I'm sure a dog would do a better job at a fraction of the cost,
Plus you won't have to worry about your naked image showing up on the Internet, or making the rounds back at the office.
Not to mention the nasty ole radiation.

The problem is that even with a dog doing the searching, it is not foolproof. For example, with the explosive PETN, used this past week, this is an explosive that has a very low vapor pressure. That vapor pressure is even lower IF taggants, special particles, are not added during manufacture. So even though a dog has an incredible sense of smell, and even IF a dog was trained to sniff people (some people would undoubtedly object to this as well), a dog might not detect it being present on a person. PETN is a substance that can be made outside of the regulated industry and that is also a problem.

I just had dinner with old friends - Mike was a Navy officer - Nuclear Submarine engineer. Now he works for a company that has quite high security requirements - anyway he was just telling me that to get through the door in his company, everyone including employees has to step into a box-like container - air wafts in from different directions and there are slits in it on all sides - an explosives detection dog is outside the box and does a quick walk-around checking the slits before the person can continue to the metal detector. I thought that was interesting...

I don't think the terrorists are after us, I think they have it out for the airlines...lol
Perhaps more drinks and better movies would help.
I also think our government is still playing games with us as expendable pawns.
Next move?

One simple solution is to allow every passenger TWO bags of peanuts!

I think there should be a barrier built in every airport to allow a trained Explosive Detection K-9 to search behind it. It may take longer in the lines at the airport but at least you'll be alive.

What a wonderful use for the dogs, what a worthwhile job they could be doing, at a tiny fraction of the cost of high tech crap thats harmful to the people its supposed to protect.
Of course there wouldn't be as much money to fill all of those greedy pockets along the way but hey !! thats just too damned bad.
Then there is, who knew what and when did they decide it was worth sharing?
What motive could someone have for letting something like this slip through the cracks? I wonder.....
Oh well..............
