A Twitter post by Kylie Cunningham @kyyylieeeee that reads “today at the airport one of the drug dogs set off a false alarm and officers rushed over to find out the dog had alerted them for a piece of pizza. the handler just patted his head and goes “it’s okay buddy i know pizza always confuses you” and gave him his treat anyways.”
I love dogs, but everything the police use to do their jobs are tools of fascism. Airport security has never actually caught a bomb or a terrorist, it’s literally just theatre.

Alternatively I’d accept “rarely” instead of “never”.

Apparently it “happened” once in 1972 with an obvious briefcase on a plane with a bomb threat.
I’ll accept any other tale. Even just one.
You’re welcome.

Well, let’s back up a little.
There are very real threats to our security and safety in flying, and there is a good argument that security helps discourage all but the most dedicated attempts to enact terrorism or hijacking.
But what gets left out of this argument is why the USA is the target of terrorist attacks and requires so much more security than many other developed nations.
