  1. In addition to not using pointy eared canines at airports, for 2019, I predict:

    Barking being too scary, only Basenji dogs will be used for airport security.
    (“This ancient breed is a favorite for people who want a non-barking dog. After all, the Basenji is the only dog unable to bark. However, a Basenji can’t be considered “silent.” Many of them yodel…”)

    Next to be banned are sharp-eyed TSA guards, as their gaze may scare those with malice aforethought.

    Followed by the banning of TSA guards with scary voices. Shouting “Drop that knife or I’ll shoot!” is banned. Instead now only a whispered “Please, re-sheath that beheading blade, inshallah!”

  2. If they could stop trying to scare adults by their incompetence and rudeness that would be better than changing out the sharp-eared dogs. For criminy’s sake.

  3. My we are becoming nations of limp-wrists. Did they actually survey travelers?

    My first thought is summed up by the very first comment, “I have a dream that one day my dogs will be judged not by the pointedness of their ears, but by their quality as a security dog.”

    1. Of course not.

      Had travelers been consulted and their concerns noted and acted upon, no airline serving western destinations would have carried Muslim passengers again after 9/11.

  4. The only animal to be considered should be the Egyptian crocodile. It’s narrow snout would be equally handy for searching suitcases and people’s crotches. The fear factor alone would dry up the number of frivolous travelers and force the layoff of all TSA. They could go back to selling used cars.
    Did I mention that it has no visible ears? A true win-win.

  5. Pointy eared & pointy muzzled dogs, it seems to me, are always the smartest – perhaps the drive is to have Pug dogs, droopy ears, round snouts, and stupid to boot.

  6. 1. Children young enough to be scared by an Alsatian are too young to be flying, and should be left at home with a responsible sitter.

    2. None of this would be necessary were airlines permitted to deny service to known members of violent savage tribes or cults.

    Muslims ought only to fly cuffed hand and foot on airplanes returning them to point of origin, rigged to explode in the air if the cargo turn on the crew.

  7. When you consider the irrational distaste Islam (Canada’s fastest growing religion), has for dogs I’m surprised there are dogs of any description allowed at the airport.

    1. Muslim lady walking down my in-laws street shrieked and scurried across the road at the mere sight of my ferocious guard dogs…..apparently aging Springer spaniels look vicious to them.

  8. Whatever happened to parents educating their children on how to behave around dogs?

    Any dog – large or small – can be gentle or rough depending on how the owners treat/train it.

    But why let facts get in the way?

  9. what luck for the TURDoo’s fav religion, free and clear to sneak the bomb on board now, AND
    dont have to put up with the ‘unclean’ canines.
