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."

You can't put food "on hold".

I'd take the dog home and keep it as a pet. Stop bringing it to work. No bomb dogs at the air ports.

With our luck, he'll wind up also refusing to feed Jim Belushi.

His career would have done that after a year or two if his brother hadn't died
