Why would they do that with a random traveler and not one of their own employees, though?

- duxup 7y agoPerhaps because the dog would know the agents?
- gshdg 7y agoSo get a volunteer from non-TSA employees who work at the airport in whatever capacity and clear it with their boss? I agree that this is a bit skeevy.
- duxup 7y agoThere are all sorts of alternatives. I'm just noting why they might not pick a local staff who has interacted with the dog. I find the story interesting, but also it seems unlikely these guys are trying some real frame up job with a coat that their target is seen in the airport not wearing, and the security person carrying around. If anything it sounds like some guys goofing around.
- starpilot 7y agoThe "aaaahh man!" reaction seems way too casual/jokey for a criminal setup that could have serious consequences for everyone involved. If I realized my scam target wasn't playing along, I'd probably nervously pretend that's completely fine and thank them for their time (something like that).
