Schumer, Cuomo blast plan to remove bomb-sniffing dogs from NYC airports, trains, Barclays Center
Schumer: Safety Will 'Go To the Dogs’
Bomb-sniffing dogs have become a familiar sight at New York City’s airports, train stations, ferries, sites like Barclays Center and at events like the Thanksgiving Day Parade and the NYC Marathon.
Now, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Gov. Andrew Cuomo are sounding the alarm as a new plan from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) propose to axe the canine teams.
Schumer demanded in a release on Sunday that TSA “immediately reverse course and keep highly trained canine teams right where they are” in NYC.
