Summary

A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.

The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are “put on hold” until further guidance.

TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.

The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s “tough on crime” stance and coincided with the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day.”

    I would bet that they’re aware of an attaok and opening the doors so that it can happen. They’ve already compromsed the rest of the industry. This is 9/ll all over again.

        This is literally the plot of Michael Moore’s comedy, Canadian Bacon (1995), starring John Candy. 30 years later, and Republicans are now leading us down a path that even Michael Moore deemed to be so patently absurd that it’d be perfect for a zany satirical comedy.

            I was surprised when I found that out, too. It’s apparently the only fictional movie he’s made; everything else has been documentaries.

            I guess they’ll have to update the Wiki page when it comes true anyway, LOL.
