The way Carrie messed up was when packing it with her bare hands. She transferred the scent to the outside of the container. She should’ve used gloves when packing and changed gloves when closing the containers.
Dogs cannot smell though airtight, vacuum sealed containers, or metal/glass sealed air tight...AIn't a secret...As long as there is no residue on the outside from putting it inside....Yeah they won't show it on a show but if anyone was partially determined the knowledge is all over the internet..
Since they said the "contraband" is legal, I'm guessing it's gunpowder or some kind of common explosive and Rex is a bomb-sniffing dog. Not too far of a logical leap since illegal substances comprise like 90% of what dogs are trained to locate.
VERY true, but for me personally, I wouldn't want to chance it! As soon as I saw a dog sniffing around either my bag, or me, I'd probably give off 'fear scent' which they may be trained to detect as well as specific substances. From what I've heard, there aren't just general 'sniffer dogs', there are loads of different ones, all trained to detect different things! There are even dogs trained to sniff out quantities of bank notes during raids on premises owned by alleged drug dealers, and dogs that can sniff out dead bodies, used for murder investigations, and attempted rescues / clean up from natural disasters! Amazing creatures, but I still prefer cats.....They will NEVER tell the feds where your stash is ;)
It has been wildly underestimated. Also misinterpreting how "sniffers" work. Also a giant lack of context but assuming they used their scents with the dog they can Ultimately figure out where things are based on the oils produced by fingers. When a trained canine detecting oders smells the last place something was placed it's not helpful to bury the items scent. But your own. Id be more interested in knowing how well they hid their own scent.
Hopefully they tell you this in part two. Even if you put illegal drugs into anything you can think of, that article will still be semipermeable. The molecules inside the illegal drugs will still go through any object and allow the dogs to detect them. The longer the drugs stay inside the object the easier it is for the dogs to find them because it gives the molecules inside the drugs more time to permeate through it.
@@RyanAnderson0 cant beat the physics, not for very long anyway. carbon lined, vacuum/heat sealed mylar will afford a few hours of smellproofing. after that its a roll of the dice hours 2-8, then its game up. more layers=more time, but its not much.
depends on the ac. If there are vents above it will travel and drop. My drog dogs can find things 30 ft in the air. I had a bomb dog find a bomb that was on top of the popcorn ceiling. Not a factor with a properly trained dog.
They should have also tried adding a couple decoy containers where they just had containers of coffee or bleach or peanut butter etc without the mystery substance inside and see if the dog still found the correct container. How do we know the dog wasn't just sniffing out peanut butter?
Harsh chemicals can cause dogs to potentially lose their sense of smell. I don't recommend harming animals like this unless it's a life or death situation though. But then again, why would you be evading sniffer dogs?
As someone who has trained these for over 30 years and analyzed dashcam footage that coffee search was not real. It was done in more than one take. The way the dog went in, the position of the officer and the camera were all different. It appears to have been done at least 3 times. Also, NO OFFICER would ever allow the dog to have the dog do a known problem with bleach as part of it as it would damage the dogs nose and would ruin a $30k item that belongs to the city not the officer. Also, your aids were shallow and on the ground. I have trained puppies that can do that and though you didn't reveal the odor the way the dog searches reveals it is a narcotics dog. A bomb dog would not break thresholds the way this dog and handler did nor would they respond that close as a bomb dogs threshold is much lower and they don't touch ANYTHING. Not to mention the handler was in front presenting to the dog, you never get in front of an explosives dog.....trip wires. Given the fact that it would have been illegal for you to have had in possession actual contraband of a narcotic you were most likely using pseudo which is simply the single odorant that the dog responds to. For example, cocaine would be methyl benzoate. This was a joke of a test and to a trained eye done more than once.
if the drug gangs wanted then could foil the dogs at the airports just be spreading pounds of there stuff around on the floors. then by all the people just walking around it will get into even the airplanes. on all the luggage. and people moving around. and no the cleaning staff would be no use they would only help to move it around. because the whole area would be contaminated with the sent.
That's actually an incredibly good / bad idea, depending on point of view! The actual cost to the producers would be relatively low, compared to the chance of a shipment being intercepted, however, it wouldn't prevent the X-Ray machines from spotting stuff.
Didnt start well with the brainiac question of, "What is the difference between a detecting dog and a tracking dog?" Is he expecting an audience with very poor comprehension skills? Never answered the question.
@@legacyntd Not sure that I agree with that entirely, because it means the dog can not detect something that is living. Tracking, by definition, is the detection and following of something. That something could be living or non-living. You can't track something with first detecting it? I see what has been done but they are imprecise definitions that dont differentiate the 2 functions very well.
@@csjrogerson2377 what you are calling detection is technically an orienting response and discrimination. From that point depending on what they are trained for they either track or search via detection The thresholds for tracking and detection are completely different as they are for SAR etc. So, yes I have differentiated them with the proper technical and scientific terms. Once an odor is at the threshold for an orienting response, the dog then discriminates if it is the odor that it has been trained to respond to. From there it either tracks (as it is already at the source of the odor and it stays on the source) or if it's trained for detection it begins to try and go to source and then give a final response when it has gotten to the source or as close as it can get. Because narcotics and explosives are not alive they cannot be tracked....only a live organism can be tracked.
@@csjrogerson2377 Its not my fault that you are not at a level of training detector dogs that you can't understand the simple basic terms. How many detection dogs have you trained? How many times has the DOD and other agencies contracted you our for active bomb threats? How many decades have you done this? Its not a word salad its called being accurate. When testifying as an expert in state and federal courts you kind of have to be accurate....strange concept in know.

That wouldn't make a difference. Its a sniffer dog. They smell better than we see.

I like that they call the officers "sidekicks" of the dogs 🐕 🤓.
Dog has better brains, better eyesight, better sense of smell, and is easier to train to be sociable!

He doesn't search like a bomb dog. Both dog and handler broke MAJOR rules of searching and pattern.
It might also be marijuana, since that is legal in several places and under certain circumstances (for instance medicinally).
@@DarknessProphet it wasn’t legal anywhere in the USA when this episode was filmed. It premiered in 2010, California didn’t legalize it until 2016.

Artificial scents are used to train scent detection of drugs. synthetic cocaine, etc... They are sold as individual scents or a grouping of compounds.

Surprised, a fully air-tight container wasn't used.
if it plastic it won't matter. Glass or metal are the only one that the oderant cannot permeated

What if it's in a container inside a vacuum (airless environment, not the household appliance)
