In the Oakland airport this morning, there is a cop with K-9 inside the security area, randomly wandering around and sniffing bags and people.

Isn't that a blatant admission that the TSA crews and all their fancy equipment are incapable of performing their job?

I would view that as a blatant admission that local law enforcement wants their cut of the daily haul.

Bingo. I actually asked one of OC Sheriffs what the hell they were officially supposed to accomplish by this sort of behavior when I saw them at Santa Ana International the last time I flew through there. The answer? "Display of force."

Yeah.
