If TSA lacks in jabs, send in the dogs.
~ Senate Majority Leader and all-around jack, Chuck Schumer
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday that if there is a worker shortage over unvaxxed employees leaving their TSA jobs, they should be replaced with dogs.
President Bidenโs vaccination order for federal workers takes effectย three days before Thanksgivingย โ the busiest time of the year for air travel.
This is right around the holidays โ how thoughtful (sarcasm).
โIf TSA lags in jabs, send in the dogs,โ Schumer said during a press conference in Manhattan, citing recent revelations from the TSA that 40 percent of its employees remain unvaccinated.
โThere is no reason on Godโs green Earth why anyone โ let alone a TSA agent โ shouldnโt have the vaccine,โ New Yorkโs senior senator said.
โNow if the agency plans now with contingencies, including the deployment of the canine dog teams, wherever the vaccine rates are impacting staffing and security, travel headaches can be avoided,โ Schumer insisted.
Theyโre smart dogs, baby.
โThe canine teams are really effective,โ he said. โThey can help secure national security and allow TSA agents to more effectively and efficiently screen individuals for explosives. It really works and moves the lines along.โ
Do we have a lot of dogs trained in sniffing? Just wondering.
