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.”
Cool so bombs are doable now? heh

This man is literally trying to starve dogs to death so he can get a tax cut.
That is a level of evil that Saturday morning cartoons would reject as being over the top.
Yet he already did it weeks ago for actual humans.
your talking to a guy that uses his child as a human shield, and would abandon him as soon as he has no use for said shield.
Straight up, most Saturday morning cartoon villains would be like “go home, heroes. I’ve got this one, and I don’t want you to see what I’m about to do to him.”
Magneto would be a great addition here.
The original inglorious bastard
It’s hard to even see Magneto as a villain anymore. Dude was basically right about everything.
Or even apocalypse
I’m reading this and thinking “this can’t be real”. How did we end up here? I really don’t get it.
People in this thread want to blame television which is fucking weird and straight from the 90s. The real issue is every one needs a fucking civics lesson. Half the people don’t even know the intended function of government the other half are arguing about which facts are facts.
I’m mean, not even to mention our society is designed around greed. They dressed it up real nice but end of the day the engine that drives the machine is pure greed.
Civics and economics are two subjects that aren’t treated with the rigor they should be in American high schools. Both subjects are usually taught by coaches as a placeholder to give them a faculty job so they can be on the coaching staff.
Millions of people who voted for Biden in 2020 stayed home in 2024. Republican numbers stayed the same.
By abstaining from voting for Harris, the entire US collectively voted for the worst option.
It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?
Yeah springer was a lawyer and later regretted everything from what I read.
regretted everything
Including paying prostitutes with checks. The bank was not amused.
Twenty-four hours later, the 30-year-old Springer was testifying at the trial of three men accused of operating the Northern Kentucky “health club” where he admitted going twice for sex – once the previous December, once in January. On the stand, he identified a $50 check he made out to 26-year-old Norma Jean Hall.
“It was in exchange for an act of prostitution,” Springer said.
lol Jesus Christ Thanks for sharing
MTV becoming a viral “reality” TV show hosting things like “The Real World” I think brought awful qualities to the mainstream, then social media gave everyone the opportunity to be THAT viral reality tv star. It may have started with Jerry, but MTV spread it to the masses. At the end of the day it was all driven by the pursuit of profits. All roads lead to capitalism, after all.
I’d say that Springer was influenced by Oprah Winfrey, whose show about abuse, neglect, crime and vice was influenced by her harrowing childhood, a product of racism, and capitalist-induced poverty.
And it turns out she was lying or possibly severely misremembering her childhood. She didn’t grow up in poverty. Oprah sucks, she gave us Drs Phil and Oz.
He’s basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it’s down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that’s not a huge issue with computers (although you’ll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can’t do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He’s doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that’s a good idea.
Or a twisted monster
I have a idea. We do our own scream test.
Let’s turn his brain off permanently.
And we Don’t bother listening for anyone complaining about it.
It’s the perfect plan.
I prefer Luigi’s method personally. Shoot CEOs until someone cares.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Are you wearing a wire dude?
Are you a Trump supporter dude?
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
This is opening the gate for the next 911 style attack so they can further reduce your civil liberties.
The “terrorists” have won
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
lol, tsa doesnt prevent shit
They prevented my toothpaste from visiting Boston.
Airplane in USA crashes by itself so often that I don’t know I should be worried about TSA or other part of the flight system more.
I would bet that they’re aware of an attaok and opening the doors so that it can happen. They’ve already compromsed the rest of the industry. This is 9/ll all over again.
Yeah, they need something to blame on Canada to get the full support of their idiot population to kill us.
This is literally the plot of Michael Moore’s comedy, Canadian Bacon (1995), starring John Candy. 30 years later, and Republicans are now leading us down a path that even Michael Moore deemed to be so patently absurd that it’d be perfect for a zany satirical comedy.
Holy cow, Michael Moore made Canadian Bacon?? And as late as 1995??
I was surprised when I found that out, too. It’s apparently the only fictional movie he’s made; everything else has been documentaries.
I guess they’ll have to update the Wiki page when it comes true anyway, LOL.
Perhaps we take those dogs. When the unruly mobs kick in the mansions of the ultra rich, we let the dogs feed once more.
Well, I know who wants an absolutely explosive birthday gift!
I propose bringing all the hungry canines over to meet Elon. It should be televized.
Kristi Noem must have plans for these dogs that for some reason won’t need food, shelter, or vet care afterwards.
And he hates dogs?
This man is beyond redemption.
Like a badly-written comic book villain.
Except in a comic book, he’d be a one-off.
Sociopaths don’t understand the role of pets. That’s why Krasnov is the first president in 100 years to not have a pet.
How can anyone hate dogs? Afraid? Yeah, I can understand that. Hate? Wow.
Psychopaths usually hate animals. One of the early signs of psychopathy is harming animals.
It’s not that they hate animals, they literally have no understanding of hate, love, empathy, conscience, or any other human emotion toward animals, or even humans for that matter.
Being Socio/Pyschopathic is a primary character trait of MAGATurds. Usually they try to disguise their broken personalities, but MAGA has made it fashionable to celebrate their mental illness. Now we live in a nation where good people have to disguise themselves as sociopaths so they can fit in.
I heard when Elon played the original Wolfenstein he would kill all the dogs and leave the Nazi soldiers alone. He thought the goal was to collect all the scattered treasure to take to Hitler at the end.
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.
The law is wrong. Dogs can’t be fascists.
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

Good boy.
Can we amend the saying to “the only good cop is either a dead cop or a dog”
Waiting for someone to hopefully explain how the title is misleading and the dogs are ok plz
Obviously the dogs’ handlers will continue to care for their dogs. It’s not okay that they might be spending their own money to do so.
Y’all Muricans need to stop this madness. Sincerely, rest of the world.
Have the police unions feed them. They are well protected.
