Okay, so I'm not genius, and I'm not saying I have the solution to the problem of getting drugs past dogs, but I think I might be onto something here, and perhaps you guys could help me out a little... So let's say that someone has a large quantity of a certain drug, let's use pot for example... Now, I've heard stories about how a dog can lose it's trail due to an animal or person going through a body of water, like a lake or a pond. There are numerous tales of slaves wading in rivers and streams to escape hounds, and prisoners also do the same thing and it seems to typically work pretty well. (the old song "Wade in the Water" talks about that some). Now then, people have certain oils and such on their skin that float to the surface of the water, but if it's cool water, then sometimes it seems that dogs have a hard time smelling the oils and therefore they lose the person or animal that they're going after. How many of us have farted on a cold day and noticed a substantial difference in the amount of odor put out than if we farted on a warm day... there just seems to be a difference. So let's take these two concepts and apply them to getting drugs past drug-sniffing dogs: My theory, and this is simply a theory, is that if someone was to take an amount of a certain substance, and then put that substance in a plastic, water-tight bag, and then freeze the bag so that the substance was completely surrounded by oh... let's say three to four inches of solid ice on all sides and at every angle, then perhaps the gases that carry the odor of the chemicals would be held in and condenced by the ice, therefore trapping them and making it impossible for the dog to detect them. As long as the person has not handled the block of ice, nor the substance with his/her bare hands, and they change gloves between handling the substance, and then the ice, then there should be no oily residue of the substance left on the person, nor the ice... All in all... it would create an unpenetrable brick of ice that should have enough time to last several hours in a standard cooler in someone's car as long as other ice is heaped on top... i would be impressed to see a dog sniff through that! I don't know if that would actually work, but it's just a theory on how to get by... your thoughts? __________________
I wouldnt do it. You, or the person, or whoever, shouldnt either. check this: "They can detect one drop of blood in five quarts of water! Sniffing the bare sidewalk may seem crazy, but it yields a wealth of information to your dog, whether it's the scent of the poodle next door or a whiff of the bacon sandwich someone dropped last week." A sandwich. They can smell a sandwhich i dropped a week ago, then yea, they can problably smell through ice and plastic. especially because drugs trigger s dogs senses easily- especially when thats what theyre trained to do every day. And if they can detect a drop in blood in all that water--- then my guess is-- frozen or not- h20, even as a block of ice- wont help. "The results of the study showed that dogs can detect breast and lung cancer with sensitivity and specificity between 88% and 97%. The high accuracy persisted even after results were adjusted to take into account whether the lung cancer patients were currently smokers. Moreover, the study also confirmed that the trained dogs could even detect the early stages of lung cancer, as well as early breast cancer. The researchers concluded that breath analysis has the potential to provide a substantial reduction in the uncertainty currently seen in cancer diagnosis, once further work has been carried out to standardize and expand this methodology. " they can detect cancer before it forms..
Ha!- Thanks for the laugh, eveninmadness! And "bad" guys always get caught- and georgie knows what's going on!!!!!!!! lostblackdog, you're smarter than you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRY WOLF PISS! You can get it at your local upscale garden center... It is used to keep deer and other animals like coyotes off of your property...
