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.”
Let’s just not forget that this stuff is pseudo-scientific security theater.
Probable cause generator, maybe. Pseudoscience, no — dogs can be trained to have low false positive rates. It just so happens they’re trained to generate probable cause, more than they are detecting drugs/bombs.
