60 sq.ft. don't cut it for the poor dog.
However, in this case it was done with TSA's typical wasteful overkill, by deploying a dozen ETD machines, each with a TSO, and swabbing every single traveler who passed through the line. With the dog there to back it up, I think it's only necessary to swab random travelers, about every 5 or 10 people, perhaps. But I see this overkill as a sign that the MCO FSD obviously had no faith in those new-fangled K9 thingies.
Yes, this sounds like a typical TSA experiment gone wild. Further, I don't see the necessity to swab even every 10th person. 1 in 20 should suffice.
