Why dont airports use dogs instead of those 3d body scanners?

Dogs could detect everything those scanners do and more. Why not make them standard at every airport gate? My own theory is that you cant make a lot of money from dogs so there’s no lobbyists advocating for dogs. You can make money off of those scanners (0,000 a machine?). Is our security being subverted by washington lobbyists?

    sometimes dogs get lazy or don’t have enough acute smell sense

    They do use them to detect drugs in luggage. Perhaps there are just not enough trained dogs to do both jobs and the scanners are quicker. Passengers do not like long holdups and who can blame them

    dogs can’t necessarily get close enough to parts of the body to detect some things, haha.
    On the other hand, with these body scanners that slow down the process at airports and borders, perhaps they should take lessons from Arnolds movie ‘TOTAL RECALL’ and have them so people simply walk through them. lineups would move faster and be an amazing process to make border crossings and airports a pleasant experience instead of the hell they’ve become. I refer to the honest traveller. Meanwhile they would have a more intensive scan to pick out the bad apples so much quicker.

    If each team had several dogs all trained in detecting different substances, the handlers could simply walk the dogs along the line of waiting passengers and remove anyone the dogs “hit” on. Forget technology, let nature expose them. I agree. Dogs not scanners.
