But then again, some people profess to put more faith in technology than in dogs' nose. They just can't bring themselves to trust the dogs' nose. The million dollar machines might be giving the illusion of safety just for peace of mind.

Period.
Of coarse preventing an aircraft go boom in the middle of air should always be on highest priority, but individual innocent lives are also no less.
And dogs, I love dogs. They are the cheapest and (if highly trained and chosen from refined breed like a Beagle) most reliable way of busting the bad guys all around the world.sigpic

Tankie - for the pure visuals, your idea is brilliant. I am unaware of any sort of signal that can detonate a capless block of PETN or similar, but that doesn't mean something doesn't exist.
We discussed dogs and chemical sniffers in the other thread, and I am on board. There is a problem, though, in that there are explosives other than nitrates, so the dogs would have to be trained on a large number of compounds, and there might be some similarities between an explosive and a consumer product. Peroxide explosives, for example. Your dog may take down some kid with pimple cream.
All of the really good explosives have nitrates. But there are also peroxides, azides, chlorates, perchlorates, styphnates... the list is huge.

I know drug dogs find more than one type of drug, so a good bomb dog should be able to recognize 98% of applicable explosives. I'd rather have a nice Golden Retriever stick his nose in my crotch (they do that anyhow) than some big dude.
