Wow. Even their dogs are poorly trained and not evaluated!

Dogs are capable of being trained to selectively detect explosives (unlike whole body scanners, which cannot be fixed for their lack of specificity). Therefore, they should be a good addition to airport security. Unless, of course, they are trained by TSA standards...
