Summary

A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.

The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are "put on hold" until further guidance.

TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.

The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s "tough on crime" stance and coincided with the White House celebrating "K9 Veterans Day."

Airplane in USA crashes by itself so often that I don’t know I should be worried about TSA or other part of the flight system more.

I'm thinking one of his kids that hates him got a new dog, and this is how he responds.

I would bet that they're aware of an attaok and opening the doors so that it can happen. They've already compromsed the rest of the industry. This is 9/ll all over again.

Yeah, they need something to blame on Canada to get the full support of their idiot population to kill us.

Have the police unions feed them. They are well protected.

They can just eat the bombs they find during their work. Like a barn 🐈. They also just eat the mice they catch.

Cool so bombs are doable now? heh

Dogs taking away jobs from humans? What a disgrace! Surely dogs are DEI hires, if I ever saw one. They're not even people!

Well, I know who wants an absolutely explosive birthday gift!
