Why Not Just Use Service Dogs at the Airports?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Fran Rokicki Realty, LLC

Dogs have such good tracking systems and can smell danger for miles.  They find lost children, can sniff out cancer, exploseives, help handicapped people and more.  Not to mention, they are great as pets, when they are retired.

Instead of hiring people, in hopes that they pay attention to the traveling public, they could hire service dogs to sniff out the airport areas.  Then, they could investigate further, into that area or person.

Service dogs, I am sure, cost much less than those huge xray machines.  The dogs will not give us an opportunity for creating cancer in our bodies.  Those machines do not offer that guarantee.  Remember, years ago, that they became more aware of the dangers of xrays, at any level.  Even at the dentist, they no longer xray your teeth, as often as they used to.  I wonder about the danger, espacially to, pregnant women, young children and cancer patients.

So, write your Congressman, and offer this bit of advice to them.  Let's put the animal detectives to work.

Dwight,

It absolutely, does!  Dogs won't be having conversations with eachother and not paying attention. They are loyal to their job, beyond human comprehension.  Google service dogs and check it out!  Funny, when service dogs began working with the blind and handicapped, some people made that same comment.

I think that is a FABULOUS idea! It would be so much easier, and less personally invasive! I'm about to fly for the holiday and am somewhat dreading the experience....

Might be a good idea, but somehow the thought of a big German Shepard sticking his snout in my crotch is not reassuring either. 

Perhaps we could hire Cheerleaders to do the searches . . . .   No then my wife would hurt me!
