"Smell that, girl? Go find more!"
................
"What's taking so long? What is it girl?"
"She says she doesn't do Windows."
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

The dog should certainly be able to find the BS in this story.
Meanwhile, Veracrypt is your friend.
How is that even possible. I’m skeptical.
I think someone was scammed.
This is completely ridiculous!!
Porn doesn’t smell any different on magnetic media than anything else on magnetic media.
The dog is keying off of conscious or unconscious signals from it’s trainer.
Maybe if the dogs were trained to sniff out semen...
At first glance I thought it said “sniffs out kiddie pork chops.”
don’t let that dog loose in the NYPost editorial office!
There is no “scent” to data bits, especially those encoding pictures.
This is disinformation to let Immigration take a suspect’s computer “with a plausible reason.” Juries will believe this was a reasonable opening gambit to detecting porn, as long as authorities play it up that drugs can be successfully sniffed.
This is completely bogus, though.
Anthony Weiner’s “Oh, s#it” moment.
Okay....I know just enough about computers to be dangerous....but THIS does not pass the smell test. To coin a phrase.
This is bs. Data recorded to a hard drive is not going to have a distinct scent based on the nature of the data. Do they need cover for seizing the hard drive of a suspected child pornographer? That’s the only thing that makes sense.
Apparently the dogs are being trained to sniff-out electronic devices:
I do not see how that is possible. First, the encoding of text vs. pictures would have to be different—and I think it is all encoded in magnetic zeros and ones. Then, the encoding of regular pictures vs. porn pictures would also have to be different—and they are still all encoded in magnetic zeros and ones. I’m thinking that a statistical analysis would show that the proportion of zeros and ones in various types of saved files, whether pictures or text, would be roughly the same.
I wonder if someone fed the author of this story a line, perhaps to distract from the high tech methods actually used to search the hard drive. The more that criminals know about the high tech methods, the more they can do to circumvent them. But if they believe that a dog can smell them out—well, I can think of ways they would try to circumvent that, too.
Bet he can sniff out pictures of bones and rawhides too. Doggie porn!
They can find flash drives, burn phones and other electronic devices, but porn? No way. The porn is a coincidence. They just find the electronics.
This is how they get “probable cause” to search your car, by having a dog that will “alert” to anything “alert” when it sniffs your car.
Since the dog is literally alerting to anything, you can have it search for anything, including binary data!
Too bad the article doesn’t have a comment section. This one is ripe for puns.
