This sounds to me as if TSA was testing the dog. Otherwise, why ETD all the passengers? Perhaps I am wrong, but sniffer dogs don't stand in place to do their job. Part of the "fun" of the job for the dog is moving, going to the target rather than having the target come to the dog.

I fail to see the need for both Explosive Sniffer Dog and Explosive Trace Portal. Seems to be a duplication of effort.
I do see it as justified. Dogs are not 100% accurate. ETD tests are not 100% accurate. Using both decreases the possibility of missing the scent. 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.

"TSA" and "duplication of effort" go hand-in-hand. Just one example: automated sterile area exit doors with alarms and mechanisms that prevent pax from entering through the exit, yet they are all manned by a TSO.

I saw that I wrote ETP and had intended to say ETD. Just didn't go back and correct myself. If TSA could have managed the ETP better there would be no need for passenger screening canines.

Examining Management Practices and Misconduct at TSA: Part II
Neffenger and Roth are testifying. Disappointedly Neffenger defends Kelly Hogan. Kelly Hogan is the TSA employee who received bonuses despite being responsible for the 95% failure rate of TSA. Neffenger claims: * have to put an end to retaliatory reassignments * have an open door policy for reporting misconduct |
I'm not convinced that TSA's senior managers have the capacity to understand what's wrong with TSA. An outside binding review is clearly needed.

An outside reveiw should happen
