Transcript for: TSA's Passenger Screening Canine Misses Explosive
Training Device Inside an Airport Terminal

Description: Description: This video shows a decoy carrying an
explosive training aid. As the decoy approaches TSA's Passenger
Screening Canine Team, the canine misses the explosive training aid and
instead follows another passenger. The Passenger Screening Canine Team
provides a response to the passenger it initially followed. A trainer,
observing the training exercise, determines that the canine provided a
non-productive response, that is, provided a final response even though
explosive odor was not present. Produced in cooperation with TSA/DHS.
