The change is a Transportation Security Administration program but DIA officials say they are very supportive of it. It won’t apply to all passengers — only those using the “A” bridge security check point and it will run at different times.
The change was tested Friday morning and travelers seemed to be on board. They involved TSA-trained dogs.
“If it makes it safer, I’m okay with it,” one traveler said.
TSA confirms it is using canines to prescreen passengers and if they pass they may be able to go through an expedited security line.
Sounds like TSA is using bomb sniffing dogs to grant expedited/PreCheck-type screening to passengers at DEN's A bridge.
I'm generally pro-dog (presuming a well-trained dog and well-trained handler), but I wonder what the false positive rate is for dogs vs the false positive rate for ETD? I suspect dogs don't alarm on hand lotion, which would be a mark in their favor. I wonder if they alarm on fertilizer?
I also have to wonder if these dogs will be cross-trained for drug sniffing and cash sniffing.
