What's up with the sniffer dog @ YOW??
I caught AC 447 yesterday, YOW-YYZ. In the waiting area, 4 heavily armed OPP officers worked the crowd with a sniffer dog! One of the officers stashed a mysterious looking device in a black box behind the AC desk! What is up with that?
The dog was very friendly, planting its wet nose everywhere while its tail wagged like crazy! (Made me ask what they do if they detect something??)
The dog was clearly checking carry-on..........what does that say about CATSA screening??

Ha heavily armed is large biceps lol. One sniffer dog handler at YYZ luggage pickup has business cards for the dog with a picture and dogs name for the kids who want to pat the dog " dog cards calm the kids down" he said. Certain incoming flights are targeted for potential drug mules ie in-bound Jamaica in this case where country of origin departing inspections are poor. Unfortunately Children are often used so why the sniffer dog officer had the doggie cards for distraction/calming affect.
PS...OPP doesn't police YYZ its Peel Regional Police (PRP)

They had a dog at YQR a couple of weeks ago to meet several inbound flights, including ours from ORD. My 5-year-old nephew got one of those cards He was pretty tickled, and it worked well because he was very nervous about the dog at first.
