Now this would be funny if it were funny...

But it's not and it isn't.

This is so stupid, so insane - read about the shoe bomber and his handler and you decide.  I believe it's been explored here on the Creek.

Ever see an explosives dog at work?

I saw a Visla once looking for buried explosives on property I rented from a man who unbeknownst to me, had an unsavory past.  What a remarkable sight.
She did it all for a rubber all - and found every bit of it.

Think of all the dogs rescued from pounds across the country who are ball or reward driven and what they could do instead.

DHS is full of nut cases.  Those people are dangerous!
