Maybe I’m stupid but they say the scanners don’t detect non matalic bombs. Why haven’t we deployed drug sniffing dogs?

Seems like a low tech low cost way to actually find explosives.

Well, apparently there are some explosives that are not detected by either dogs or by chemical scanners. And there have been reports that some UK doctors have taught or been taught how to insert explosived under the skin.

Nonetheless, I think the main reason TSA is groping people is to force them to choose the alternative, the full body scan.
