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.”

K9 units are considered police officers. So he essentially wants to punish some very good (and cute!) police officers who should be getting lots of good food and belly rubs for helping so many people be safe on their flights.
“defund the police!”
the monkey’s paw curls another finger
Ok, first remove any kind of bomb detection from any flight he’s taking. Need to show that he’s serious about saving money
he flies privately
No more DEI! (Dogs Eating & Ingesting)
bro, I despised you already but now you went so far beyond the limits, there is no turning back! Don’t feed dogs? Anyone who trained a dog and works with that dog would rather starve than not taking care of the dog. But I get it, dogs are loving and loyal to the extreme. Both are concept you will never comprehend.
Dogs taking away jobs from humans? What a disgrace! Surely dogs are DEI hires, if I ever saw one. They’re not even people!
They can just eat the bombs they find during their work. Like a barn 🐈. They also just eat the mice they catch.
Cool so bombs are doable now? heh
“Richest man in the world to starve dogs so he can have more money.”
I wish they’d be more frank. They just want more. The same class that tells us to make our own toilet paper and stop getting that morning coffee, are now digging into the pockets of dogs just for a few more coins to rub together. They’ll kill us all for what amounts to pocket change for them. How much better this time line would be if he just ceases to exist.
Its not even saving anyone money, either, which is the empty pretense they’re doing all this under
Last month was more expensive by a significant margin than the same month last year.
I keep waiting to find out where the line is that gets people to actually take to the streets. The bar keeps getting lower as people make more excuses to continue doing nothing.
Its always hard to predict the tipping point. When the Berlin Wall came down, it surprised literally every intelligence agency in the world. Everyone knew the Berlin Wall would fall someday, but nobody had a clue when, how, or why. And NOBODY knew it was that close.
Then one day, it just happened. Someone tried to get through the wall, and a guard just simply refused to stop him, and the floodgates opened. Within minutes, people were smashing the wall with sledgehammers, and within hours the guards were gone, and the citizens were crawling all over it, knocking down sections.
All we can do is prepare and maintain readiness. One day it will tough off somewhere, and it will spread fast. Have a plan, and remain alert.
That doesn’t happen in North America
Even Hitler loved animals.
Adolf Hitler had German Shepherd ( Blondi) which often stayed by his side
it would be hilarious for elon to die in a bombing
I love that for him
More like to die from him doing on cocaine. Rich people almost always OD on cocaine and or alcohol, or antidepressants
Rich people almost always OD on cocaine and or alcohol, or antidepressants
Some of them die by “suicide” in jail cells.
Is that your Dr Worm? How does someone OD on antidepressants?
You can in fact overdose on antidepressants. It isn’t a common cause of death, but it happens.
Either that or auto asphyxiation when a strangle wank goes wrong
… in Minecraft
No, in real life, so we don’t have to deal with that piece of human garbage anymore.
This isn’t social media controlled by a billionaire, you don’t have to bring this mass social media brainrot.
Don’t taint that game with his presence
Yeah, it was tough enough getting Notch’s taint off it.
Things I didn’t need to think about today: Notch’s taint.
Stop feeding Elon…
Make it a hashtag. #StopFeedingElon
Legally-speaking, K9 units are considered police officers. “Elon Musk withholds food, housing, and healthcare from over one thousand very handsome police officers” is a much better headline.
That’s very paradoxical. There are no good cops, but these officers are all good boys/girls. Therefore they can’t be police officers.
They can’t be police officers. Dogs aren’t bastards.
Police dogs very much are. It’s not their fault though unlike their human counterparts
Some of them are forced to be though. Very much reminds me of the dog that attacked the officer because it saw him beating a suspect.
Good boy.
Can we amend the saying to “the only good cop is either a dead cop or a dog”
The law is wrong. Dogs can’t be fascists.
Surely THIS will get price of eggs down.
Bet fElon wants to smuggle drugs on his private plane.
I’m thinking one of his kids that hates him got a new dog, and this is how he responds.
No need to smuggle, TSA doesn’t seem care
