Yes I have read that thread too and its a really good read. However, it's (1) dog and it was retired. Not saying it means nothing but I'd be curious if we can reproduce those results over and over against other dogs.
I realize dogs are one part of a bigger system but I don't understand how people can downplay dogs and how big of a deal it would be if we can beat them. Whether it's mail or other means of transport, dogs are the single most popular tool of LE and they are a formidable foe.
(sidenote: I also want to acknowledge that LE is probably involved in a disinformation campaign about drug dog capabilities so getting good, quality, scientific data on the subject is difficult, at best.)
Sniffer dogs are notoriously unreliable, often alerting giving false positives etc, they also can only be worked for short periods before their effectiveness drops right off. I've walked right past sniffer dogs heaps of times carrying drugs at festivals and raves and never had an issue, didn't stop me shitting myself every time though and definitely not something I'd recommend anyone does without taking the appropriate precautions, MBB was unheard of back in my misspent raving youth and I've seen many a person hauled off for a pat down and strip search, seems much more full on here in Australia than anything I've seen in other countries including the UK.
