Topic: Sniffer Dogs

Law enforcement in Australia is deploying specialized sniffer dogs trained to detect digital storage devices like USB sticks and hard drives. These "data dogs" are used in operations targeting child abuse and terrorism to find hidden evidence that human investigators might miss.

The hosts question how large quantities of drugs bypass postal sniffer dogs during transit from Silk Road sellers to customers. They compare the lack of physical evidence in the Silk Road bust to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's high-profile press conferences featuring seized firearms in New York. The segment suggests the "routine check" that led to the discovery of fake IDs in San Francisco was a convenient narrative for investigators.

Further details on the Spanish terror arrests reveal that the suspects are of Chechen and Turkish origin. The hosts highlight contradictions in the reporting, specifically that no actual explosives were found despite "sniffer dogs" reacting to a room. They mock the police interpretation of a phone call where a woman was told to "clean the apartment" as evidence of removing bomb-making materials.
