Beagles are often used by airport security to sniff out both drugs and explosives.

I saw a special on TV about a beagle being used at the airport to sniff out drugs.

Sometimes, other breeds are too - the dogs have to be trained to do this, but some are better at learning it than others.
I have seen beagles at airports being used to sniff out drugs and other things. Beagles have a very acute sense of smell.

Yes! In fact the DEA runs the "Beagle Brigade" at the Orlando International airport. It is a program where they teach beagles how to sniff for drugs and other contraband.

The question has been pretty well answered. Just wanted to add they are also used as rescue dogs to sniff out people buried in rubble after a disaster.
I have one and I am amazed at what he finds, mostly food as he has not been trained to sniff out anything. I found him with his nose stuck to the bottom of the stove. I got something to check what was under there. Turned out to be a 1/2" piece of dog biscuit. It didn't attract the other three dogs.

Beagles are used via customs brokers interior the U. S., too. i presumed they could sniff the two foodstuff and medicines? Or do beagles specialise in one in all them? I observed somewhat previous woman get busted via a beagle. i'm vulnerable to think of it grow to be for foodstuff, no longer drugs.

I have seen some Beagles at the airports and I also have seen German Shepards.

Yes, and they are also a favorite of US Customs agents to find contraband being brought into teh US like fruits and vegetables because their size makes it easy to put them on baggage conveyers to sniff luggage.

Beagles are wonderful for that sort of thing. Many government agencies use them.
