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.”

      Nope. I just figured the comment was a little close to a call to violence; figured they’re either not in the US, or Fedposting.

      Maybe they just don’t give a fuck about making calls to violence, in which case more power to them and good luck out there

      Edit: realized you weren’t the person I originally commented on, so I changed the wording to point at the proper subject
