New dog handling teams pose at airport.
Four teams of explosive-sniffing dogs go on duty at San Antonio International Airport as early as this fall, according to a joint announcement by airport officials and the Transportation Security Administration.
Airport officials said the dogs and their handlers were trained at the TSA canine facility at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland over a period of 12-16 weeks.
Several congressmen, along with airport and city officials, have worked for years to bring this program to San Antonio. The magnitude of this agreement will positively impact the airport, travelers and the community as well. The Passenger Screening Canines add an enhanced level of security to our operation, said Jesus H. Saenz, Jr., director of the San Antonio Airport System.
