Summary

A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.

The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are "put on hold" until further guidance.

TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.

The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s "tough on crime" stance and coincided with the White House celebrating "K9 Veterans Day."

The last time a major terrorist attack happened, the government got expansion of powers.

This is preparing for the next 9/11, reichstag-fire style.

And the dems will approve the Enabling Act.

They gladly will, especially if its a reach around in the name of compromise and good faith to the "Actually Just Open Nazis and Bad Faith Liars" party.

if the patriot act is any indication, yes.

The one person who voted no to the Patriot Act was voted out next election.

Let that be a lesson to all Americans. The one person who voted to protect the freedoms of America was voted out because it looked bad on paper.
