I think you mean "bomb sniffing dogs".

Pretty convenient, huh? I wonder how many US airliners have been contaminated with explosive residue because they have been used as props to train dogs.

Imagine that you wished to package explosive materials so that it could be hidden on an airliner and it emanates vapors so that dogs can sense it AND it somehow leaves a residue that can be detected after the plane crashes into the water weeks later. How would you do that?

What do you want to bet that the original documents of the training organization are not available to the public? What do you want to bet that the training team has never delivered or used a trained dog at any other time.

I have been up since 4:30 painting the foyer. Up & down Up & down up & down that damned extension ladder. One husband, three sons, so who spends the day at the top of a 22 foot ladder? Yes, I meant drug sniffing dogs, LOL!

In light of the reminder above about the shoe bomber, the fact that the residue was found in (or was it under?) a peice of carpet made more sense to me than it did to the guy on TV.

I don't know enough about this to have an opinion which carries any weight. 258 seems too large of a large number to be wrong or to misinterpret what they see.

Originally the story of explosives was that the aircraft participated in transporting explosives during Gulf War I.
