Fido To The Rescue!

Today  The Washington Times , announced that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)  has certified the use of canines (and their super noses) to sniff cargo containers that will be loaded onto passenger-carrying planes. The fist canine team is all set and ready for work at Washington-Dulles International Airport. Miami International Airport is anticipated to be the second airport to implement canine teams. 

These special dogs had to participate in a 10 weeks in a training course at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. The TSA hopes to train over 400 teams, consisting of one dog and one handler, over the next two yeas.  If this program goes well, the TSA is hoping to implement the canine team to aid at security check points.
