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.”

Not surprising sadly. This is the same man that labeled people relying on the government for a safety net to fucking live parasites.
I am one of those people that is part of the parasite class. I look forward to being able to get teamed up with a doggo in the camp. That actually kinda makes me feel a little better if that would happen actually.
What a freaking shitshow.
Someone should make him watch this
With our luck, he’ll wind up also refusing to feed Jim Belushi.
His career would have done that after a year or two if his brother hadn’t died
I’d take the dog home and keep it as a pet. Stop bringing it to work. No bomb dogs at the air ports.
Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.
I thought that we already established that in Magastan “illegal” is only for poor people.
And abuse is a key part of the plan.
and critics. dont forget critics
Stop feeding Elon…
Musk: The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response. So, I think, you know, empathy is good, but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot.

What an absolute cunt.
This might blow up in his face. In more than one way.
They want chaos to justify the suspension of all civil rights. Ask me how I know.
Da, tovarisch

Dude I thought we all agreed that you can’t just drop links to TV Tropes all willy nilly like that. I have things to do today
Yes let’s start starving animals now. Great job Republiscum.
That didn’t sound like the best idea ever for someone using jets so often. That could blow up in his face.

I am sure that he doesn’t fly on commercial public transport.

nice pun 😙👌
I have an idea for what we could feed those dogs.
The rich?
I was thinking kibble, but I like where this is going.
I’m not sure whether that would be healthy for dogs.
You can’t put food “on hold”.
You can but the consequences can get pretty extreme.
What will actually happen is, the dog handlers are now forced to pay for food and vet visits out of their own paychecks. And Elon can claim to have saved a couple thousand dollars, until the lawsuits start.
Why would he care about the lawsuits? It won’t ever come out of his pocket. It just becomes someone else’s problem.
Clearly you can
When I import things to the US through work, they always get stopped by Explosive Detection Dogs, at a cost of around 300 quid per pallet. I wonder if that will stop or drastically reduce. Certainly doesn’t seem like a good idea if you want to stop things coming in that shouldn’t be.
Can’t keep a bs trade war on fentanyl, if dogs are stopping the fentanyl.
