Definitely not drugs....

The TSA has stated their policy is to look for security threats.

If they happen to find illegal substances during security screening they refer the matter to local police but they don't specifically look for them.

The dogs are smelling for explosives and other weapons.

TSA looks for drugs too. I had all prescriptions checked one by one. They definitely look for drugs.

They suck at it though. I used to tape bags of coke to the underside of my balls and they never found it. If had checked baggage, I'd put it in there and never once did they check.

Testicle coke. That's a low blow.

Nope. Depends entirely on the purpose the dog was trained for. The TSA are still looking for cocaine, heroine, meth etc. If you've got an ounce of gorilla glue stashed in your suitcase, you're gonna get flagged but probably not arrested. What the TSA aren't as concerned with are gummies and vapes. Weed is not their chief concern, but they aren't just "not looking for drugs" because weed is legal in some states.

They still use drug sniffing dogs in tandem with explosive sniffing dogs. Drug smuggling is still very much an issue. You've never heard of a narcotic sniffing dog?

Edit: spelling and grammar
