This police K9 can find your tails USB sealed in a jar in a box or through an airtight gun safe

This 18 week old puppy is trained to sniff out the chemicals that are emitted from usb flash drives, sd cards etc. Trained in order to catch child porn fuckheads but just thought id share since I know you guys rely on a USB drive for tails etc.

As long as it's not trained to decrypt it...

just because a dog CAN find a USB doesn't mean that every police department has a USB sniffing canine on their staff lol. Also who cares if they find a tails USB? The whole point of tails is that it's encrypted.

These are the dogs that were used to find USB drives at the subway Jared's house. At that time, there were only 3 dogs in the world that can do this and they were there to rotate.

I wonder how easy it would be to give them a false positive though. Flash media is cheap and often just discarded. You can ask on craigslist for dead media, grind them up, sprinkle it all over the house, car, box, or whathaveyou. Wonder what's in storage media that's has a unique smell too; it's just subtrate board, copper, tin, other metals, silicon chips, solder masque, and that's in every electronic device out there.

These dogs are mainly used to find the kiddie diddlers' porn stashes, they employed one to catch the subway guy.

Just because the police say something doesn't mean it's true. Sounds like they taught the dog to sniff out safes. If it's airtight.... what is there for it to smell?

Parallel comstruction.

Probably one of 2-3 in the whole world, they probably have bigger stuff to deal with i'm not worried.

So a dog can find a usb stick. Who cares? If you have incriminating unencrypted usb sticks lying around, you were already screwed.
