Elon Reportedly Orders Government to Stop Feeding the Bomb-Sniffing Dogs

As Elon Musk's DOGE continues to plunder the federal government, even the TSA's bomb-sniffing K9 units aren't safe.

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.”

    If it’s not already a thing we should start a live tracker of Elon’s current or last known whereabouts. For academic purposes.

        Maybe some brave air traffic controller can take one for the team and send his plane into the Atlantic Ocean.

        Yes, but I was thinking of a system with more … granularity and resolution. Maybe take the flight tracker and add to it, like noting the color of the vehicle he got in and its plate number. For research. Let’s say it’s to help calculate his efficiency with tax payer dollars.
