The problem with drug sniffing dogs is that these dogs can detect drugs, however it is difficult to prove that they haven't also been trained to alert on other signals (or are specifically trained to do so).

Unfortunately until someone invents a handheld device which can "smell" as well as a dog's nose, I don't see this changing.




I dunno, 85% failure rate seems like they aren't actually capable of detecting at the level you're claiming.
