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.”

Sounds like those dogs should start letting bombs through to me.
Beyond animal cruelty, you NEED bomb sniffing dogs! Holy shit! Do they realize that now potential bombers would have a huge upper hand in carrying explosives into airports? Why don’t they say ‘well those metal detectors and xray machines are too fancy’ and go back to the late 60s when there was a hijackings once every 5.6 DAYS.
I pray everyday for a poetic Mussolini ending for Musk
Nah, he’s cutting corners in bomb detecting dogs, it’s gonna be a Carrero Blanco 2 electric boogaloo
Sick fuck…
Oh well I’m sure the cabinet secretary who oversees TSA will get right on that oh wait she loves killing dogs too
There is a certain type of person that gets extra upset when dogs are harmed. Make no mistake, I’m still very pro-feeding dogs. This is a fucked up event, yet events like these always bring a special type of “animal lover” outrage. If dog food budget is the Elon thing making you angriest today, then your priorities are out of whack.
Especially so if you eat cows, chickens and pigs, they’re all animals. Just so tired of the selective outrage.
Found the vegan.
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.

Fucking psychopath.
That’s definitely something a malignant narcissist would say
Yes let’s start starving animals now. Great job Republiscum.
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.
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.
Elon orders government. They said it out loud.

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
Tvtropes will ruin your life!
Stop feeding Elon…
He has enough body fat to survive until the heat death of the universe anyway.
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
