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.”
I propose bringing all the hungry canines over to meet Elon. It should be televized.
Kristi Noem must have plans for these dogs that for some reason won’t need food, shelter, or vet care afterwards.
This man is literally trying to starve dogs to death so he can get a tax cut.
That is a level of evil that Saturday morning cartoons would reject as being over the top.
I’m reading this and thinking “this can’t be real”. How did we end up here? I really don’t get it.
He’s basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it’s down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that’s not a huge issue with computers (although you’ll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can’t do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He’s doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that’s a good idea.
I have a idea. We do our own scream test.
Let’s turn his brain off permanently.
And we Don’t bother listening for anyone complaining about it.
It’s the perfect plan.
Are you wearing a wire dude?
Are you a Trump supporter dude?
I prefer Luigi’s method personally. Shoot CEOs until someone cares.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
I’d say that Springer was influenced by Oprah Winfrey, whose show about abuse, neglect, crime and vice was influenced by her harrowing childhood, a product of racism, and capitalist-induced poverty.
Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?
This is opening the gate for the next 911 style attack so they can further reduce your civil liberties.
lol, tsa doesnt prevent shit
They prevented my toothpaste from visiting Boston.
The “terrorists” have won
Maybe its collateral damage from getting rid of drug-sniffing dogs that might narc on him and his friends
Perhaps we take those dogs. When the unruly mobs kick in the mansions of the ultra rich, we let the dogs feed once more.
Airplane in USA crashes by itself so often that I don’t know I should be worried about TSA or other part of the flight system more.
I would bet that they’re aware of an attaok and opening the doors so that it can happen. They’ve already compromsed the rest of the industry. This is 9/ll all over again.
Yeah, they need something to blame on Canada to get the full support of their idiot population to kill us.
This is literally the plot of Michael Moore’s comedy, Canadian Bacon (1995), starring John Candy. 30 years later, and Republicans are now leading us down a path that even Michael Moore deemed to be so patently absurd that it’d be perfect for a zany satirical comedy.
Holy cow, Michael Moore made Canadian Bacon?? And as late as 1995??
Well, I know who wants an absolutely explosive birthday gift!
