[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kiernan: [QB] When a dog alerts, it makes some movement or sound, and the handler assumes that the movement or sound means a specific thing. Dogs are not machines, they are animals, and we cannot know what goes on inside of a dog's head, if anything does. I recall reading about a drug dog in California that had such poor performance in tests--like around fifty percent--that the judge refused to consider the evidence. Does the dog make the movement or sound to alert the handler to the presence of drugs, or to get praise? After all, it might have been a long day. I was a dog handler in Vietnam. We guarded the perimeter of Cam Ranh Bay Air Force Base at night. My dog alerted four times in the year, but in only two cases was there anyone there. What were the other two all about? My brother used to work for the Customs Service. Someone was trying to sell them a machine that "sniffed" drugs with radio frequency energy. It didn't work, but the Customs Service really wanted it to. The main use of dogs is to scare people. [/QB][/QUOTE]
