How ‘bout the dogs at the border. When they hit on a vehicle the feds often literally dismantle the thing into a pile of scrap. I wonder what the ‘false positive’ rate is there. The dogs are very very good at their job, much better than Napolitano for sure.
This was a real eye opener to me.

“The dogs are very very good at their job, much better than Napolitano for sure.”
Decades ago when I was still enlisted I was in my barracks room on a day off. It was around noon and I was making a ham and cheese sandwich at my desk.
Law Enforcement came through the barracks with the drug dog and it went nuts at my door. The cop encouraged the dog to enter and it came over to me. The cop tried to get the dog to sniff around and give the "alert" again but it had smelled the ham and placed his head on my leg and begged me for a bite.
I guess that would be a false positive.
A border inspection doesn’t require any level of suspicion. They are using dogs to screen which vehicle they choose to search. Having a clean car dismantled is a raw deal, but a lot of times these days they will run it through a back scatter X-ray first.
