I’ll bet both airports catch the same number of terrorists. ^
In order to be scientific it will need to be a double blind study. By which I mean a third airport will need to be used where the TSA agents and dogs are all blind. And
then we check after ~6 months to see which one catches the most terrorists. LAX should fit the bill - all the TSA agents there are clearly blind already. Now we just need 50+ blind, explosives-sniffing trained dogs: how hard could that be?
I love science.
