The Transportation Security Administration is in the process of swapping out pointy ear dogs for floppy ear ones in an effort to put more of the public at ease when interacting with its canines.
"We’ve made a conscious effort in TSA ... to use floppy ear dogs," TSA Administrator David Pekoske said during a recent tour of operations at Washington Dulles International Airport northern Virginia.
"We find the passenger acceptance of floppy ear dogs is just better. It presents just a little bit less of a concern," Pekoske said. "Doesn’t scare children

Wonderful, cute, loving faces and they look very much like hounds if their ears aren’t cropped.
My Great Dane would terrify you before he sat on you and tried to lick you to death.
Whatever moron was behind this idiot decision should be fired. What a stupid, wasteful, PC stunt.
Ding Ding Ding BINGO!!!
Brought to you by the floppy eared explosive sniffing dog lobby. Really some high up TSA official family member is in the business with floppy eared dogs. /s sort of.
It would scare the children a lot less to get rid of the horny airport gestapo- wannabe corps altogether. Replace gas with a nice friendly children’s petting zoo - where kids can pet sheep instead of government agents petting us
They should just wear hats, that way the doggies are ‘ear-neutral’.
Why? because many liberals/socialists/communists/progressives fly - only a few drive across the southern border and likely none walk.
TSA frightens children, Hell, they frighten just about everybody. Except the real terrorists.
I do not fly any more. I would rather drive, take the bus, take a train, or hitchhike 5,000 miles, than have to deal with a bunch of snoops and arrogant bullies who will NOT take effective steps to actually safeguard the safety of passengers and air transportation in general. Wouldn’t be politically correct, doncha know.

F = Floppy, in one acronym.
There were many others! ;^}
That’s it! Make all the dawgs wear Snoopy costumes.
Same. I hate lying now and the crap one has to go through, and yet we have to have that security, but not for our borders.
Just shows how stupid liberals /socialists are.
My question too.
Indeed Ted Baxter news media out to lunch.
Oh good grief. How stupid can we get? Unceasing evidently.
I’ve cropped the ears of 3 different dobermans.
And I’m regretful, and sorry for all that pain I caused.
Never again.
“LSMFT
F = Floppy”
S = Straps
I’m sorry, but touchy feely perverts scare them more.
Getting rid of the TSA would be a better idea.
