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.”

Ya see folks. In elons mind the future is chaos for all of us. Death war, disease, terror (likely instigated by them)
Follow what these billionares are doing. They will be living in palaces and far from the chaos theyre plotting
Please wake up
Every time I read something about the USA in the last few weeks I think “Wow that’s shitty. How can it get worst?”
In short order, the answer to my question is served up. I find it worse when the victims cannot speak or stand up for themselves. Though horrible things are happening to a wide range of victims at least they can protest, take action etc. The dogs cannot. I only hope that the handlers make sure the welfare of these animals is taken care of despite the order. They do not deserve to be pawns in the MAGA game, but then no one does.
Same here. Since 2016.
There’s no such thing as rock bottom. It can always get worse.
Except: death. Total annihilation. Planet im- or exploding. That’s the only actual rock bottom there is.
Yes, but is it instant death, like a plane crash, because the FAA got defunded, or a slow excruciating death because your Healthcare was cut? Or by dehydration in some internment camp because you liked a tweet by AOC?
Turns out rock bottom has a basement.

I have an idea for what we could feed those dogs.
The rich?
I was thinking kibble, but I like where this is going.
I’m not sure whether that would be healthy for dogs.
Stop feeding Elon…
He has enough body fat to survive until the heat death of the universe anyway.
Elon order government. They said it out loud.
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
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
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.
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.
Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.
I thought that we already established that in Magastan “illegal” is only for poor people.
and critics. dont forget critics
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.
The only REAL parasites are the oligarchs.
All of them rely on govt way, way more than anyone else. Of course they try to paint themselves as entrepreneurs who pull themselves by the bootstraps without no help from anyone
The last time a major terrorist attack happened, the government got expansion of powers.
This is preparing for the next 9/11, reichstag-fire style.
And the dems will approve the Enabling Act.
If it’s not already a thing we should start a live tracker of Elon’s current or last known whereabouts. For academic purposes.
Like the Elon flight tracker?
Yes, but I was thinking of a system with more … granularity and resolution. Maybe take the flight tracker and add to it, like noting the color of the vehicle he got in and its plate number. For research. Let’s say it’s to help calculate his efficiency with tax payer dollars.
Maybe some brave air traffic controller can take one for the team and send his plane into the Atlantic Ocean.
Having dog handlers pay for the dogs they need for work is totally in line with having teachers pay for teaching tools.
