I suspect the dogs will be used to patrol the landside areas, not to speed up the lines. They will be another 'layer of security' and will be TSA's answer to concerns about the long lines TSA has deliberately created. With the dogs circulating a jammed landside area, there is no risk (!) of a Brussels-like attack.

Perhaps the dogs would be better deployed in baggage handling, an area where TSA has really cut heads. If suspicious bags pass the dogs, there should be very few legitimate reasons for cutting a lock and rifling a bag's contents.
