Hey Desertbluesman, do you think there would be a problem at the airports with the sniffer dogs and that speaker in the amp should you need to fly with it somewhere for a gig?


The TSA is too busy stealing luggage, disassembling some grandmother's wheelchair, and feeling up girl scouts to worry about the THC content of some wannabee rockstar's speaker cone.

:lol:

Drug sniffing dogs are like lie detectors - there's no scientific valid evidence at all that they work, yet people think they do because "everybody knows so".
In reality, every double blind test with dogs where the handler and everyone else watching is unaware where or if there are drugs shows no better result than pure guessing without a dog.

So why use them then? Two reasons.
1: The dog makes guilty people nervous.
2: The dog marks what the handler shows interest in, which justifies an intrusive search, overriding 4th amendment protection by creating reasonable cause.
If nothing was found, it was "oh well, there must have been some drugs near there in the past" or "there's the scent of something". Never "I misled the dog". And if something was found, it's "evidence" that dog searches work.

I was driving over to San Diego on Interstate 8 a few years back, and low and behold there was dogs on the road, so I had to do some eatin. The dog was about to get to my car in the left lane, and I was sure we was a matter of interest to that dog, but he caught a sniff of something in the right lane and off he went that~a~way. When I got to the immigration check in Cali on I-8 The dogs did not notice me a bit. Of course running for 30 miles with the windows open might have helped. I knew where the check was in Cali the Arizona one was a pop up item that moves around a bit.

They post how many thousands of pounds of contraband they do get with those dogs and it is significant many tons a year at each place......
