The TSA should use its canine teams to keep airport security lines moving if there is a worker shortage amid the federal COVID-19 vaccination mandate, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.President Biden’s vaccination order for federal workers takes effect three days before Thanksgiving — the busiest time of the year for air travel.“If TSA lags in jabs, send in the dogs,” Schumer said during a press conference in Manhattan, citing recent revelations from the TSA that 40 percent of its employees remain unvaccinated.

Shumer's next plan will be to use dog teams to detect and control the unvaccinated.

Perhaps Chuck could join the TSA. If he does a good job, he can get a doggie treat.

And where are you supposed to get these dogs, Chuckie? My daughter works at a facility where they allow dogs in the building to train as detection dogs. It takes more than a day or two to get proficient.
And where are the handlers going to come from? Chuckies Vaxxed Brown Shirts?

What an idiot. I own dogs. There are some people that are afraid of dogs, adults and children. There are cultures, that consider dogs dirty and disgusting.

Good Lord. Against American citizens? Dogs handled by authorities? “…(S)end in the dogs”?
Sen. Schumer epitomizes the Democrat, uniparty (maintain the status quo at any cost) political culture.
What happened to Americans, how and why can anyone cast a vote for a politician or a party with beliefs like this?
1. Government entitlement rewards.
2. Insufficient education.
3. New Age nihilism.
4. Unearned affluence.
Even through this tsunami of bribes and malign neglect taking the place of values, how can voters be so divorced from observable reality?

I thought dogs can get the china flu? Do they also have a pollutant to jab dogs with ? Can china flu infected dogs spread the china flu?

How is a dog going to speed up the check in process? Will they check your ID? Run the scanner? Pat you down? I think dogs can search for things using their sense of smell, but I do not believe they can improve the TSA check in process.

There's a mental image for you: men in uniforms with tsa armbands and a snarling German Shepard on a leash working the lines of sheeple who's only crime was wanting to get on a plane to Cleveland.
And Trump is the nazi......

Hey government - We, the People are so over this fake covid pandemic. It was a farce from the start- you used it as a way to steal the election with mail in ballots etc. Now you're killing people with your "vax" while making your cronies rich from the pharms. All this mandating this and that while the border is wide open with many types of infections, including covid, being sent all over the USA. You haven't given me a reason to believe this regime at all. The big pharms love you - this gov't is the goose that is laying the golden egg for them.

With it becoming harder to ignore, the current swing in mortality is in the vaccinated seniors. Dr. Peter McCullough is shouting this from the roof tops and being fully ignored . RIP Col. Powell. Sigh

All puppy, no bone - what an idiot. Does he have any idea how long it takes to train a dog to handle a specific task (explosives, drugs, etc.)? A lot of dogs fail the training program. Besides, there are not that many K-9 trainers to handle the increased load. What an absolute fool.

Schumer's a genius. His plan has the following advantages:
1) The dogs are smarter than your average TSA agent.
2) They are way friendlier than your average TSA agent.
3) They'll work for less pay and can be trained to vote Democrat next election, just like your average TSA agent.

What a great idea, Chuck.
Lets make the airport environment more tense than it already is by making everybody run a gauntlet of dogs trained to attack on command. Just like Nazi Germany.
One hallmark of any totalitarian society is restrictions on travel. That's where we are heading.
Voters need to wise up and vote these tyrants out of office before we lose that right entirely. Democrats especially need to wise up. People like Schumer won't be gone until Democrat voters wise up.
Btw, there aren't enough dogs.
Each dog comes with a handler. What if the handler declines the vaccine? The dogs aren't easily switched from one handler to another. They are a team.
Dogs don't check for everything either. Still need TSA agents going through people's belongings.
Sounds like Schumer wants to expand the TSA. Perhaps that's his intention all along.

Nice try 'snake' but you are stupid on the thought process just to make people get vaxxed. I'm not worried because I haven't flown on a plane since 1989 and never will.

If dogs are such a great idea, why aren't they already deployed? This idea strikes me as racist.

TSA doesn't utilize dual trained dogs (explosives and crowd control), so there is no need to overreact. They mostly use labradors and golden retrievers. Most are trained at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Tx. They also have an adoption program for older labs and those who flunk out of training. I have one whose official release papers stated that he was "too friendly." I snatched that one up and brought him into the family to join my former explosives sniffing German Shepard. Schumer makes a common mistake in understanding how working dogs work or don't work. Dogs, however well trained, are no replacement for modern explosives detection technology and trained operators and using them on people rather than objects is a temporary solution at best. During the check-in process, dogs are not helpful and could be a detriment. Schumer is doing what all progressives are doing in covering for Biden's stupid shot mandates and the firing of essential workers.
#5 is correct in that obtaining the dogs and getting them trained and paired with a trained handler is a very lengthy process and is no substitute for firing TSA operators.

Schumer has always been a slime ball (he used to have his staff look in other senator's offices on a Friday and would announce that HE was covering whatever on the weekend-----the old joke was that most dangerous place to be was between Chuck and a camera) but he has made clear that, in his fear of being primaried by AOC, he puts his own election before the American people he pretends to serve.

.“If TSA lags in jabs, send in the dogs,”
That's sounds to me that he wants to Sic the Dogs on the TSA agents that resist getting Jabbed.
(Though it also may mean attack teams of Lawyers, maybe demonstrators to their homes, the Modern Dem version of snarling packs of hellhounds)

He does after all have a pattern of using his own dogs to chew on SS Agents, even those provided for his personal protection.

The federal COVID-19 vaccination mandate is the reason for the shortage of TSA workers. “If TSA lags in jabs, send in the dogs,” was Schumer's response. I guess Schumer has a higher regard for dogs than TSA workers. I am sure that some of these TSA workers had, and recovered from, COVID-19 giving them Natural immunity. Natural immunity provides better protection than than the vaccines, yet they are treated like they have no protection. This is an extreme stupid, anti-science position that the Biden administration is taking.
Those with Natural immunity should be included with those who have had "the jab."
