TSA wants to bring in cuter security dogs
Dog-dreading passengers will soon see kinder, friendlier looking canines at airport security.
The TSA announced it will up its up its contingent of floppy-eared pups at check-in, while curtailing pointy-eared pooches.
In other words, more golden retrievers and fewer German shepherds.
“We find the passenger acceptance of floppy-eared dogs is just better,” TSA administrator David Pekoske told the Washington Examiner. “It presents just a little bit less of a concern. Doesn’t scare children. We’ve made a conscious effort … to use floppy-ear dogs.”
The agency made the decision during an informal discussion among TSA honchos, spokesman Jim Gregory told The Post. It aims to have 80 percent floppy ears, and 20 percent pointy ears among its 1,200 service dogs.
The floppy breeds include Labrador and golden retrievers, German shorthaired pointers, wirehaired pointers and Vizslas.
The pointy posse has two types: German shepherds and Belgian Malinois.
Gregory said the TSA is always in need of more dogs, and won’t pull any pups just because of their ear shape.
“One thing we are not going to be doing is taking dogs offline,” Gregory said.
He said he didn’t know how the new dogs will be spread out across the US, but it’s likely New York-area fliers will see more of the docile-looking dogs.
