Louisville Needs Dogs

Louisville Courier-Journal:

As part of the nation’s homeland security effort, five Louisville International Airport police officers were sent to Texas over the past three years to become certified handlers of bomb-sniffing dogs.

Today, not a single certified dog or officer is patrolling at the airport, The Courier-Journal has found.

Three officers left the much-publicized program under questionable circumstances; one did not complete the federal government’s 10-week training program at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio; and another and his dog failed a required certification test.

This sounds like fine homeland security to me.
