OT - What are you doing right now?

Well, this doesn’t look like much, but we made falafel at home.  Wife made some gluten free pita that were pretty good.  I rarely deep fry anything, but this was worth it.

Long day ahead. Hope things cool down.

Just watched some heavily suited up security in BWI, couple dogs sniffing everywhere.

I’ve been noticing the dogs more and more.  I don’t mind them at all, but I bet if you’re towing your own it’s maybe a different story.

Security AND therapy

Dropped my son at Hartsfield this AM as he's flying to Key West to tarpon fish.  Just called to tell me the dogs hit on the guy next to them in security line.  He was freaking out.

In Vegas a couple of weeks ago and security dogs were everywhere, airport and casinos.

Just caught up and obviously missed some prime real-time interactions.  All over friggin airports... Slow forum night.

Maybe there is a surplus of dogs. From what I understand states that legalized pot have to replace their K-9 units

@bgebrent
 Can’t tell if you are serious.

If not - you got me. 
If so: WTF?  You are like 1/5th  the reason we are making the trek. We have a trip to Japan to discuss and start planning for.  (And for the record, I do not care which airports we go through to get there!)
I am serious. I hope you are not.

I read the threads before getting out of bed this morning. I was not on the boards last night myself. I hope this one works itself out. We all need to remember (myself included) to

This is why we can't have nice things

I talked to Brent this morning, and it's all good.  I apologized for being a weapons-grade ahole.

not sure they are replacing because of the pot, im seeing more bloodhounds in the departments lately and i think it has something to do with opiods and kids. not as many german shepards lately. watched a raid the other day and they had both dogs. less liability with bloodhound attacks, they dont attack

Dunno, one might drown under the slobber onslaught. 

alaskanassasin

 I read in some Alaskan new paper that they will have to replace K9 units statewide because they are trained to sniff out pot.  I am speaking above my pay grade here but if the k9 indicates that there are drugs in the car, and the 5.0 finds say meth and pot, a lawyer could argue that it was a illegal search because the dog was smelling the legal pot.

Most of the drug dogs are trained to hit on money as well as specific drugs. I used to train K-9s and money was the #1 priority for the dogs. Taking drugs off the street was a letdown for them. They love civil asset forfeiture so they can buy police “toys”. I’d suspect they want to keep those dogs because they make money for the dept. 

The dogs in the domestic terminal are only looking for bombs. Drug dogs are used in the international terminals.

Nothing peeves the perps more than having their hard earned stuff confiscated either. It’s a win - win.

Aisle or window?

Aisle for short flights, window for long flights.

No no no, you have it exactly backwards.  There’s nothing worse than trying to escape the window seat on a long flight to use the restroom.  

I was just thinking on this most recent trip that I may change my preference from Window to Aisle

I like taking lambo’s from drug dealers. Yes.
