Do all TSA dogs come from the Canine Training Center, or could TSA be acquiring dogs from other sources for drug screening? Maybe borrowing dogs from CBP, DEA, or local agencies?
I'm assuming even TSA isn't doing something as ill-advised as dual-training dogs for drugs and explosives, but they apparently demoed exactly that in Hawaii a couple of years back:

So I will offer an suggestion - take some time to visit an airport PD and talk with their handlers. If you like, PM with the US airport you would like to visit and I will let you know whom to contact to arrange a meeting with their EDC team.
It seems unlikely that most US law enforcement agencies would accommodate something like that for a typical civilian.
