I'm just too afraid to tune in to Fox and listen to how they're spinning this. I think I'm more afraid of the news than I am of everything else they tell me I'm supposed to be afraid of.

Walk past the detector, and into a small chamber and a dog will be able to tell if you are carrying anything all while being behind a plastic wall with small holes in it, so there is no dog contact. Easily done. Very inexpensive, less intrusive.
