John dogs are trained to smell almost anything, they don’t all alert on the same scents
but somehow they can do it.
Electronic devices that have memory storage have a coating of a chemical called triphenylphosphine oxide, or TPPO. This is what the dogs are sniffing out. These devices can’t be made without it..
Not sure I buy this. What sort of unique smell does a solid state storage device give off that a dog can detect?
I mean, great if they can. I just sounds far-fetched, like that FHP trooper years ago that said he could smell pot and it turned out he was just profiling.
I am glad they got this guy…. but i do not think i believe that this dog was taught to sniff our pcb based products in homes that are already “knee deep” in computerized stuff.
Knowing how its going to turn out, why do those that do this type of evil still do it?
Getting caught should also allow the person ONE out… Save everything involved if they choose it. He would have taken it too……
Why do they bond these idiots out? You can’t fix SICK
Need to go after the ISP folks as well for allowing this type of activity to happen in the first place. IT can filter/flag….
neuter this individual.
Great job Maple and handler, Agent Cassidy
