Retraining for the dogs. The unemployment line for the handlers.
While the Obama administration tries to tighten airport security in the wake of the Christmas Day bombing attempt over Detroit, the Transportation Security Administration’s bomb-smelling dogs at the Philadelphia International Airport can’t do their jobs.
Federal lawmakers questioned the Transportation Security Administration in Philadelphia yesterday, a day after reports that three bomb-sniffing dogs failed their recertification exam.
The TSA canines at Philadelphia International Airport failed the exam in December, but remained on duty and neither airport officials nor Philadelphia police were alerted until the information was leaked to the media Tuesday. The city police department’s 10 bomb-sniffing dogs are still certified.
The only thing that can cause an animal to forget its training is a lax handler. Whomever is responsible for these pooches needs to find the door, asap. Let us all be thankful that the TSA dweebies aren’t unionized yet, so that that stands a chance at happening.
