They wanted badge airport employees, persons that are able to walk/stand, have no mental or emotional issues, and read/write English among a few other conditions.

I am thinking I won't be volunteering anytime soon even though this program is a vital program that "exists to deter and detect the introduction of explosive devices into the transportation system."
I'd be concerned with being trampled by passengers when the dog indicates you are carrying explosives.
